Depressaria albipunctella is a moth of the Oecophoridae family. It is found in most of Europe.
The wingspan is 19-22 mm.[2] Adults are on wing from early August to late November and after hibernating again from March to May in one generation per year.
The larvae feed on Daucus, Conium, Torilis, Anthriscus, Chaerophyllum, Pimpinella and Seseli species. They live in a loose upper-surface silk spinning of a leaf of their host plant.[3]
