Chrysoesthia atriplicella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in southern France and on Sardinia.[1]
The larvae feed on Atriplex halimus. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a full-depth corridor, continued into a transparent blotch. In the corridor, the frass is deposited in an interrupted line. In the blotch it is deposited in a broad strip. Pupation takes place outside of the mine.[2] Larvae can be found from April to May.
