Anatrachyntis simplex is a moth in the Cosmopterigidae family. It is found on Egypt, La Réunion, Gambia and the United Arab Emirates, Cyprus, Morocco, Portugal, Spain[2] and India. It is recorded infrequently in Great Britain through accidental importation in pomegranates.[3]
The larvae feed within the fruit of Pomegranates.
