The Eggfruit Caterpillar (Sceliodes cordalis) is a species of moth of the Crambidae family. It is found in New Zealand and the whole of Australia.
The wingspan is about 20 mm.
The larvae are considered an agricultural pest on several Solanaceae species, such as Lycopersicum esculentum, Physalis edulis, Solanum aviculare, Solanum melongena and Datura species. They cause damage by tunneling into the stems and fruit of the plants.
