Argyresthia pallidella is a moth of the Yponomeutidae family. It is found in North America, including California.
The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are pale shining yellowish white, but the extreme costa in the basal fourth is dark brown. The hindwings are very pale grey or concolorous with the forewings.[2] Adults are on wing in June.
Adults were collected amongst fir, which might be the host plant.
