Eulamprotes nigromaculella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found in Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, Crete, Cyprus and Ukraine.[2]
The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are whitish irrorated (speckled) dark grey with a small blackish spot on the costa near the base, one at one-fifth, one on the fold slightly beyond this, and one beneath the costa at one-third. The stigmata form oval black spots, the plical very obliquely before the first discal. There is a dark grey spot on the costa at two-thirds and four small cloudy whitish spots on the costa beyond this. The hindwings are light bluish-grey.[3]
