Epinotia festivana is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in most of southern Europe and the Near East.

Larva

The wingspan is 14–16 mm.[2] Adults are on wing from June to July in one generation per year.

The larvae feed on Quercus and Corylus species. Feeding results in a gall-like swelling. Pupation takes place after hibernation on the leaves of the food plant.
