Epichnopterix plumella is a moth of the family Psychidae. It is found in Europe. The female has no wings and remains in the caterpillar bag.
The wingspan of the male is about 12 mm. Male moths are dark fuscous with strongly pectinate antennae and differ from Psyche species in having fine hair-like scales. The moth flies in one generation from mid-April to mid-June.[1]
The larvae feed on various grass species.
Notes
