Udea hyalistis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Oswald Bertram Lower in 1902. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Victoria.[1]

The wingspan is 22–26 mm. The forewings are pale brownish grey with a clear white median subcostal spot, edged with some darker scales. There is a similar spot narrower and twice constricted. The hindwings are ochreous whitish with some brownish-grey irroration (speckles), an antemedian dot and a subterminal band of the same colour.[2]
