Depressaria marcella is a moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in France, Spain, Portugal, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Greece and Turkey and on Sardinia and Sicily. [1] It has also been recorded from Israel, [2] Iran and North Africa. [3]

The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are light brownish, towards the base faintly rosy-tinged and in the disc somewhat mixed with whitish-ochreous. There is an undefined rather dark fuscous suffusion forming a basal patch, as well as a streak along the costa and there are oblique streaks from this to the disc before and beyond the middle indicating the stigmata. There is a rather broad angulated subterminal fascia and a narrow terminal fascia almost confluent with it. The hindwings are light grey. [4]

The larvae feed on the flower buds of Daucus species, including Daucus carota and Daucus muricatus . [5]
