Eunebristis oncotera is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Walsingham in 1911.[2] It is found in Mexico (Guerrero).[3]

The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are pale yellowish ochreous, suffused with ferruginous towards the termen, and in a large blotch extending from the base on either side of the fold and along the dorsum to the commencement of the tornal cilia, its outer extremity somewhat attenuate, leaving a space of the same ground colour between it and a dark ferruginous costal blotch a little beyond the middle. The termen is narrowly pale yellowish ochreous, with three ferruginous dots at the base of the cilia. The hindwings are shining, pale grey.[4]
