Evergestis subterminalis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by William Barnes and James Halliday McDunnough in 1914.[1] It is found in western North America, where it has been recorded from west central Alberta south to Colorado, Utah and California.[2] The habitat consists of montane meadows.
