Scrobipalpa montanella is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Pierre Chrétien in 1910. It is found in southern France and Sicily.[1][2]
The wingspan is 9.5–10 mm (0.37–0.39 in).[3]
The larvae feed on Anthemis cretica. They mine the leaves, but also live freely, feeding on the stem and leaves. The larvae are pale green, with reddish transverse bands and a pale brown head.[4]
