Falseuncaria ruficiliana, the red-fringed conch, is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in China (Xinjiang) and most of Europe.[2] The habitat consists of limestone, heathland and moorland.

The wingspan is 13–15 mm. There are two generations per year, with adults on wing in May and again from July to August.

The larvae feed on the seeds of Primula veris, Primula farinosa, Linaria vulgaris, Inula officinalis, Aster linosyris, Bellis perennis, Gentiana verna and Antirrhinum species, living within the seed capsules. The species overwinters as a cocoon.[3]
