Eutorna polismatica is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1931. It is found in Japan.

The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are brown irregularly sprinkled blackish with the costal half from the base to two-fifths white sprinkled black, including a spot of blackish suffusion near the base and an oblique streak from the costa at one-fourth, and terminated by a rhomboidal blackish antemedian costal blotch, separated by an oblique streak of white suffusion from a similar blackish postmedian blotch, followed by an oblique white striga, beyond this some slight blackish suffusion on the costal edge and two white dots. The discal stigmata are black circled white, the second forming an oblique linear mark, a black streak joining these, and continued as a dash beyond the second. There is a streak of blackish suffusion along the fold from near the base, its apex forming the plical stigma beneath the fiĀrst discal, edged white posteriorly. The dorsal half beyond this is streaked longitudinally with whitish suffusion and there is a wedge-shaped tornal blotch of blackish suffusion. A brownish-bronze marginal fascia is found around the posterior part of the costa and apex. The hindwings are grey.
