Ectoedemia pubescivora is a moth of the Nepticulidae family. It is found in southern France, the Iberian Peninsula, Switzerland, northern Italy, Sardinia and Sicily.
The wingspan is 5–6 mm. Adults are on wing from May to the first half of June. There is one generation per year.
The larvae feed on Quercus pubescens. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a corridor, generally following a vein, that abruptly widens into a blotch.
