Apomyelois bistriatella is a species of snout moth in the genus Apomyelois. It was described by George Duryea Hulst in 1887.[1] It is known from California, the eastern United States, northern Europe and Russia.[2][3]

The wingspan is 15–25 mm.[4] Adults are on wing from June to July.

The larvae feed on a fungus, Daldinia vernicosa, which grows on burnt gorse (Ulex species) and dead birch (Betula species).[5] It has also been recorded feeding on Hypoxylon occidentale in California.[2]
