Antispila ampelopsia is a moth of the family Heliozelidae. It was described by Kuroko in 1961. [1] It is found in Japan (Kyushu and Yakushima).

The wingspan is 4.5-5.5 mm. [2] Adults appear in mid August, mid September and at the end of June. There are two to three generations per year.

The larvae feed on Ampelopsis glandulosa and Vitis flexuosa . They mine the leaves of their host plant. The frass is blackish and is deposited in grains which are scattered in a zigzag line. The larvae create a case which is cut out from the end of the mine. Larvae are found at the end of July, mid August and from the end of September to mid October.

The Heliozelidae, commonly known as shield-bearer moths, are a family of small, day flying monotrysian moths distributed worldwide. The larvae of most heliozelid species are leaf miners who cut distinctive shield-shaped cases from the surface of the host leaf, hence the common name. Some species are considered pests of commercial crops such as grapevines, cranberries, and walnuts. The taxonomy of this family is poorly understood.
