Greya punctiferella

Greya punctiferella is a moth of the family Prodoxidae. It is found in the Pacific coastal ranges, the western slopes of the Cascades and in parts of the Sierra Nevada from south-eastern Alaska in the north to the Mendocino region of northern California in the south. The habitat consists of moist, coniferous or mixed conifer-Alnus forests.

The wingspan is 12.5–19 mm. The forewings are pale stramineous (straw-colored) with scattered brown spots. The hindwings are pale to median gray.^[1]

The larvae feed on Tiarella trifoliata, Tolmiea menziesii and Tellima grandiflora. The larvae are thought to be leaf miners.
