Ochsenheimeria capella is a moth of the Ypsolophidae family. It is found in Hungary and from Russia[1] to northern Kazakhstan.[2]

The wingspan is about 10 mm.[3]

The larvae feed on Secale cereale, Setaria italica and Stipa species. They probably mine the leaves of their host plant for about a week. The larva then continues feeding as a stem borer.[4]
