Eulamprotes atrella, the two-spotted neb, is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Michael Denis and Ignaz Schiffermüller in 1775. It is found from most of Europe, [1] east to Japan. [1] The habitat consists of mixed deciduous woodlands.
The wingspan is 10.8–13 mm. The forewings are brilliantly brownish fuscous, with a yellow blotch on the costa at the apical one-third and also on the tornus. The hindwings are greyish fuscous. [2] Adults are on wing from May to August in one generation per year. [3]
The larvae feed on Hypericum species, including Hypericum maculatum. They feed internally in the stems and shoots. Pupation takes place in a case made from part of a leaf. [4]
