Delplanqueia dilutella is a species of moth in the family Pyralidae. It was described by Denis & Schiffermuller in 1775. It is found in most of Europe (except Norway and Ukraine),[2] east to Russia, Turkey, Iran and Mongolia.

The wingspan is 18–26 mm.[3] Adults are on wing from May to June[4] in one generation per year.

The larvae feed on Thymus serpyllum, Thymus drucei and Polygala species.[5] They form a silken gallery sometimes including debris from the nests of the ant Lasius flavus. Pupation takes place in a cocoon in the soil or amongst leaf detritus.[6]
