Monochroa conspersella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. In Europe, it is found from the Alps to the north. In the east, the range extends to the southern Ural and the Middle Volga,[2] as well as Japan.
The wingspan is 11–12 mm.[3] Adults are on wing from May to August.[4]
The larvae feed on Lysimachia vulgaris. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a lower surface blotch with irregular corridor-like extensions. The center of the mine is brownish and the frass is dispersed. After overwintering, the larvae bore the stem of their host plant.[5] The larvae can be found from September to the beginning of winter. Pupation probably takes place outside of the mine.
