Orocrambus flexuosellus is a species of moth in the family Crambidae.[1] It was first described by Edward Doubleday in 1843.[2][3] O. flexuosellus is endemic to New Zealand.[4] It has been recorded from the North Island, South Island and the Stewart Islands.[5] The species' habitat consists of lowland to alpine grasslands.[5]
The wingspan is 19–26 mm. Adults have been recorded on wing from November to February.[5]
The larvae are polyphagous, feeding on various grasses and sedges.[6][7] The adult moths have been shown to pollinate Cassinia fulvida, Dracophyllum acerosum, Hoheria lyallii and Olearia virgata.[8]
