Psammotis pulveralis is a moth of the Crambidae family. It is found in the Southern part of Europe, although it dwells further north on occasion and at times even establishes a short-lived population, as happened in 1869 near Folkestone and the Isle of Wight.
The wingspan is 23-25 mm. The moth flies from June to September depending on the location.
The larvae feed on Mentha aquatica and Lycopus europaeus.
