Chionodes ceanothiella is a moth in the family Gelechiidae.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Alberta and British Columbia to California and Utah.[2][3]
The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are dark purplish brown, with a small yellow streak on the middle of the fold, followed by blackish scales. Obliquely above this in the cell is a blackish dot partly surrounded by yellow scales and at the end of the cell is another similar spot. At apical third is a small yellow costal streak and around the apical edge is a more or less complete series of small yellow dots. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[4]
The larvae feed on Ceanothus sanguineus, Ceanothus thyrsiflorus, Ceanothus sorediatus and Ceanothus integerrimus.
