Digitivalva heringi is a moth of the family Glyphipterigidae.[2][3][4] Some sources consider it a synonym of Digitivalva eglanteriella.[5] It is found in the Republic of Macedonia (type locality: Matka Canyon[1]), Croatia,[2][3] Bulgaria, and Greece.[2] It is named for Erich Martin Hering.[1]

The wingspan is 11–12 mm (0.43–0.47 in).[1] The larvae feed on Pentanema aschersonianum (Asteraceae; formerly Inula aschersoniana). They mine the leaves of their host plant. They can be found at the end of May.[1][4]
