Agonopterix nigrinotella is a moth in the Oecophoridae family. It was described by Busck in 1908.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Ontario, Quebec and Wisconsin.[2]
The wingspan is 20-23 mm. The forewings are brownish fuscous faintly, irrorated with blackish fuscous. There is a blackish-fuscous shade beyond the light basal part of the wing, which fades rapidly into the lighter ground colour. There is a black discal dot at the basal third in the cell, followed at the end of the cell by a yellowish-white discal spot. The hindwings are shining light yellowish fuscous.[3]
The larvae feed on Carya species, Ptelea trifoliata and Zanthoxylum americanum.[4]
