Lobesia neptunia is a moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found on the Canary Islands and Madeira.[2]
The wingspan is 9-12 mm. The forewings vary from ochreous to brownish ochreous or reddish fuscous. The hindwings are pale brownish grey.[3]
The larvae feed on Frankenia ericifolia and Limonium pectinatum. They mine the leaves of their host plant. Young larvae make short full depth corridor-like mines. Older larvae live among spun leaves.[4]
