Digitivalva reticulella is a moth of the family Acrolepiidae found in most of Europe, except Ireland, Great Britain, the Netherlands, France, Portugal, Slovenia, much of the Balkan Peninsula, and Lithuania.[1]

The wingspan is 11–13 mm.[2]

The larvae feed on Filago, Gnaphalium luteoalbum, Helichrysum arenarium, Logfia arvensis, and Omalotheca sylvatica. They mine the leaves of their host plants.[3] Larvae have a yellow body and a brown head. They can be found from March to April.
