Scrobipalpa voltinella is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Pierre Chrétien in 1898.[1][2][3] It is found in southern Europe (Spain, southern France, Italy, Croatia, Serbia, Turkey, and Ukraine).[2][3]

The wingspan is 11–12 mm (0.43–0.47 in).[4] The larvae mine the leaves of their host plant, Leuzea conifera (=Rhaponticum coniferum) and Tanacetum corymbosum[1][2][5] (these are taxonically distant hosts, rising suspicion that the information is erraneous[5]).
