Bibarrambla allenella, the bog bibarrambla moth, is a moth in the Depressariidae family, and the only species in the genus Bibarrambla. It was described by Walsingham in 1882.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Nova Scotia to Minnesota, North Carolina, New York, Connecticut and Maryland.[2]
The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are grayish white with numerous specks and mottlings of grayish fuscous, especially on the costal and apical parts of the wing. There are two grayish-fuscous discal dots, each followed by some ocherous scales. There is a row of diffuse grayish-fuscous spots around the apical margin. The hindwings are whitish gray.
The larvae feed on Alnus and Betula species.[3]
