Hypochalcia ahenella is a species of snout moth in the genus Hypochalcia. It was described by Michael Denis and Ignaz Schiffermüller in 1775 and is known from most of Europe, Turkey,[1] and Texas in the US.

The wingspan is 23–32 mm.[2] Adults are on wing from May to the end of August.[3]

The larvae probably feed on Helianthemum species and/or Artemisia campestris.[4]
