Bankesia conspurcatella is a species of moth of the Psychidae family. It is found in western Europe.[1]
The wingspan is 11–15 mm.[2] Adults are on wing from January to April in one generation per year.
The larvae feed on lichens on tree-trunks from within a case made of lichens, soil and sand. The larva first overwinters and then pupates in winter within the case, which is attached to fences, rocks or cracks in tree bark.[3]
