Digitivalva heringi is a moth of the family Acrolepiidae. It is found in Croatia and the Republic of Macedonia.[1]

The larvae feed on . They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a large, full depth, transparent blotch. The frass is deposited in grains in dispersed groups. A single larva makes several mines. Pupation takes place outside of the mine in a whitish cocoon which is found at the leaf underside against the base of the midrib.[2] The larvae are uniformly light green with a light brown head. They can be found at the end of May.
