Apatetris tamaricicola

Apatetris tamaricicola is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Walsingham in 1911. It is found in Algeria.

The wingspan is 17–23 mm. The forewings are pale fawn-ochreous, unmarked, except for a very slight sprinkling of minute brown scales toward the apex, and sometimes a few groups of the same around the end of the cell. The hindwings are shining, pale brassy ochreous.

The larvae feed on Tamarix species. They make galls on the branches of their host plant. The larvae have a white body and an olivaceous head.
