Coptotriche tantalella

Coptotriche tantalella is a moth of the family Tischeriidae. It is found on the Canary Islands.

The wingspan is about 8 mm. The forewings are pale fawn-ochreous, sprinkled with yellowish. The hindwings are pale grey.

The larvae feed on Bencomia caudata and Sanguisorba minor magnolii. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a short corridor, widening into a large full-depth blotch. All frass is ejected from the mine. The larva often moves to a new leaflet. Pupation takes place within the mine. The larvae are uniformly pale yellow with a dark brown head.
