Spatalistis bifasciana is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in most of Europe.[2]

The wingspan is 12-17 mm.[3] The wings are marked dark brown with yellowish in the terminal area and metallic blue-grey streaks. Adults are on wing in May and June.

The larvae have been recorded feeding internally in the berries or fruits of Vaccinium myrtillus, Vaccinium uliginosum, Rhamnus catharcticus, Cornus mas and Ligustrum vulgare.[4] However, recent research recorded the larvae amongst dead Quercus and Castanea sativa leaves.[5]
