Tinea flavescentella is a species of moth belonging to the family Tineidae.[1] It is native to Western Europe.[1] The wingspan is 8–17 mm. Head with pale yellow hair tuts. Antennae just over half the front wing length. The forewings are greyish yellow with two or three grey-brown spots and a faint hyaline spot at the base. Hindwings grey. Certain identification requires examination of the genitalia.[2][3] Flies at night in August. It is found indoors where fur and wool goods are kept.
