Digitivalva pulicariae is a moth of the family Acrolepiidae. It is found in most of Europe, except Portugal, Fennoscandia, the Baltic region and Poland. [1]

The wingspan is about 13 mm. [2] Adults are on wing from August to, after overwintering, May of the following year. [3]

The larvae feed on Pulicaria dysenterica . They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine initially has the form of a short corridor that starts at the midrib or the leaf base. It later becomes a whitish or brownish full depth blotch. The frass is deposited in irregularly dispersed grains. A single larva creates several mines. Pupation takes place outside of the mine in a reticulate cocoon, under a leaf or among litter. [4] The larvae are yellowish green with a brown head. They can be found from June to July.
