Agonopterix rotundella is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in most of Europe, except the Fennoscandia and most of the Balkan Peninsula.
The wingspan is 14–17 mm.[2] Adults are on wing from September to May, overwintering as an adult.[3]
The larvae feed on Daucus carota and Laserpitium gallicum. They initially mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a small, irregular full depth corridor. Older larvae vacate their mines and continue feeding among spun leaves.[4] Larvae can be found from June to August. They are green with darker length lines and a brownish black head.
