Eunebristis cinclidias is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1918. It is found in French Guiana.

The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are deep brownish-crimson with dark grey elongate basal spots above the middle and near the dorsum, as well as a streak along the basal half of the dorsum, and a band of several irregular partially connected longitudinal streaks before the middle. There is a curved transverse series of several small partially connected ochreous-whitish spots at one-fourth and a deep reddish-orange transverse fascia at about three-fourths, broad costally and narrowed to a point on the dorsum, edged with fine irregular ochreous-whitish lines, the costal edge infuscated between these, and with a small round dark fuscous discal spot edged ochreous-whitish within the anterior edge of this. There are several ochreous-whitish marginal dots around the apex. The hindwings are dark grey.
