Catoptria conchella is a species of moth of the family Crambidae. It was described by Michael Denis and Ignaz Schiffermüller in 1775.
This species can be found in Europe (Germany, Baltic region, Austria, France, Switzerland, Italy, Romania, Slovenia, Poland, Russia).
These moths live in the alpine meadows up to 2200 m. They mainly occur in open, grassy areas.
The wingspan is 24–30 mm. It is quite similar to Catoptria pinella, but the rear part of the front wing is paler and a subterminal line is missing.
Caterpillars can be found from April to June. Adults fly from June to August. These moths are crepuscular.
