Ectoedemia angulifasciella is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It is found in most of Europe, except the Mediterranean Islands.
The wingspan is 5–6 mm. Adults are on wing in July. The head is pale ochreous and the antennal eyecaps ochreous-white. The forewings are black with a somewhat bent sometimes interrupted shining silvery fascia in middle. The outer half of cilia beyond a black line are white. Hind wings are grey.[1]
The larvae feed on Filipendula vulgaris, Rosa canina, Rosa pendulina, Rosa sempervirens, Sanguisorba minor and Sanguisorba officinalis. They mine the leaves of their host plant.
