Udea fumipennis is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Warren in 1892. It is found on the Galapagos Islands.[1]

Adults are similar to Fumibotys fumalis, but smaller and the forewings are narrower, more vinous-coloured and the direction of the first line is more oblique. It is however mainly distinguished by the hindwings, which are wholly suffused with dark fuscous hairy scales.[2]
