Hypatopa binotella, the spotted dowd moth, is a moth in the family Blastobasidae. It is found in most of mainland Europe, except the Iberian Peninsula and most of the Balkan Peninsula.[1] It was first recorded from Great Britain in 2006 where it is probably accidentally imported.[2]
The wingspan is 19–21 mm.[3] Adults are on wing from late May to mid-August in one generation per year.[4]
The larvae feed on the fallen needles of various pines trees (Pinus species}.[2]
