Thiotricha subocellea is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in most of Europe (except Ireland and most of the Balkan Peninsula), China (Gansu, Shaanxi, Jilin) and Japan.
A sprig of Origanum vulgare bearing larval cases
The wingspan is 10–11 mm.[2] Adults are whitish, marked with grey and black. They are on wing from July to August.[3]
The larvae mainly feed on Origanum vulgare, but occasionally also on other herbs. They feed on the seeds of their host plant from inside a case constructed from the calyxes. During growth, the larva attaches further calyxes.
