Agonopterix rosaciliella is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by August Busck in 1904. [1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Alaska and western Saskatchewan through Washington to California and Arizona. [2]
The wingspan is 20–26 mm. The forewings are ochreous-white overlaid with reddish and suffused with reddish fuscous, and irrorated with sparse blackish scales. The basal portion of the forewings is light and contains a fuscous spot and is followed by a deep reddish-fuscous shade. There is a series distinct fuscous spots on the costa and termen, the former alternated with small whitish-ochreous spots. There are also four white discal spots, edged with black. The hindwings are light fuscous. [3]
The larvae feed on Angelica arguta, Angelica hendersonii, Conioselinum chinense, Ligusticum apiifolium, Oenanthe sarmentosa, Osmorhiza chilensis, Osmorhiza occidentalis and Echinopanax horridum. [4]
