Euhyponomeutoides ribesiella is a moth of the Yponomeutidae family. It is found in Fennoscandia, Germany, Poland, Estonia, Ukraine, Slovakia, Austria, Belgium and France.[1]
The wingspan is 16–19 mm. Adults are on wing from late April to September.[2]
The larvae feed on Ribes alpinum and Ribes uva-crispi. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a narrow corridor usually starting with a spiral. The frass is deposited in a central black line. Older larvae live freely under a spinning, causing window feeding.[3] Larvae can be found from May to July.
