Psammotis pulveralis is a moth of the Crambidae family. It is found in the Southern part of Europe, although it dwells further north on occasion and at times even establishes a short-lived population, as happened in 1869 near Folkestone and the Isle of Wight.
The wingspan is 23–25 mm. The moth flies from June to September depending on the location.
The larvae feed on Mentha aquatica and Lycopus europaeus.
