Hysterophora maculosana, the bluebell conch, is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found from most of Europe, east to the Crimea, Asia Minor and the Palestinian territories. The habitat consists of woodland areas.[2]

The wingspan is 10–14 mm. Adult males have whitish hindwings, whereas those of the female are dark. Adults are on wing from April and June.

The larvae feed on the flowers of Chondrilla juncea and within the seedheads Hyacinthoides non-scripta.[3] Larvae have been recorded nearly year round.
