Blastobasis repartella is a moth in the family Blastobasidae. It is found in the United States, including Colorado, Maine, [2] South Dakota and Illinois.

Adults from mid-July to mid-August in eastern South Dakota.

The larvae bore in the proaxis and basal nodes and internodes of above ground stems of Panicum virgatum . [3] [4] Mature larvae are commonly found in late May. Pupae are mostly found during mid to late June within the plant stem. [5] The resulting damage done to these plant stems has been colloquially referred to as, "dead heart," often leaving behind damaged or decaying plant matter. [6]
