Scrobipalpa gallicella is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Constant in 1885. It is found in Spain, southern France and Italy to Hungary, Ukraine and Russia.[1][2]
The larvae feed on Artemisia caerulescens gallica and Artemisia alba. The larva spins a number of leaves together into a bunch, and mines these out. Pupation takes place outside of the mine. The larvae have a body with red or reddish brown length lines and a darker reddish head.[4]
