Pima boisduvaliella is a species of snout moth.[1] It is found in most of Europe (except Ireland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Ukraine and most of the Balkan Peninsula),[2] Asia, including Mongolia and Kazakhstan[3] and northern North America, including Alberta.[4]

The wingspan is 22–26 mm. Adults are on wing from June to August.[5]

The larvae feed on Anthyllis, Lotus, (including Lotus corniculatus), Ononis, Astragalus and Lathyrus maritimus. They feed inside the pods of their host plants.
