Apomyelois bistriatella is a species of snout moth in the genus Apomyelois . It was described by George Duryea Hulst in 1887. [1] It is known from California, the eastern United States, northern Europe and Russia. [2] [3]

The wingspan is 15–25 mm. [4] Adults are on wing from June to July.

The larvae feed on a fungus, Daldinia vernicosa , which grows on burnt gorse ( Ulex species) and dead birch (Betula species). [5] It has also been recorded feeding on Hypoxylon occidentale in California. [2]

The Phycitinae are a subfamily of snout moths. Even though the Pyralidae subfamilies are all quite diverse, Phycitinae stand out even by standards of their family: with over 600 genera considered valid and more than 4000 species placed here at present, they unite up more than three-quarters of living snout moth diversity. Together with the closely related Epipaschiinae, they are apparently the most advanced lineage of snout moths.
