Chionodes electella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found in almost all of Europe (except Ireland, Great Britain and the Balkan Peninsula).[1] In the east, the range extends to the southern Ural.[2]
The wingspan is 12–16 mm. Adults have been recorded on wing from May to July.[3]
The larvae feed on Picea abies. They mine the leaves of their host plant. They live in a silken tube covered with fragments of bark and lichen. The tube is made on a second-year twig. From within this tube, the basal half of several leaves is mined. Pupation takes place outside of the mine under the ground.[4] Larvae can be found from May to June. They are reddish brown to chocolate brown.
