The Loch Rannoch Tortrix or Rannoch Bell (Rhopobota ustomaculana) is a moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in most of Europe, east to the eastern part of the Palearctic ecozone.
The wingspan is about 13 mm. Adults are on wing from June to July. They fly during the afternoon and evening.
The larvae feed on Vaccinium vitis-idaea. They spin together the leaves of their host plant, feeding on the upper parenchyma. The species overwinters in this stage.
