Eulamprotes atrella, the two-spotted neb, is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Denis and Schiffermuller in 1775. It is found from most of Europe,[1] east to Japan.[1] The habitat consists of mixed deciduous woodlands.

The wingspan is 10.8–13 mm. The forewings are brilliantly brownish fuscous, with a yellow blotch on the costa at the apical one-third and also on the tornus. The hindwings are greyish fuscous.[2] Adults are on wing from May to August in one generation per year.[3]

The larvae feed on Hypericum species, including Hypericum maculatum. They feed internally in the stems and shoots. Pupation takes place in a case made from part of a leaf.[4]
