Onebala blandiella is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1864.[1] It is found in Sri Lanka,[2] India and Myanmar.[3]
Adults are fawn coloured with a slight cinereous (ash-grey) tinge, the forewings with slight metallic-green reflections and a large oblong dark brown cinereous-bordered spot in the disc before the middle, as well as a very large exterior triangular dark brown cinereous-bordered spot, which has its base on the costa and extends to the interior border. The hindwings are slightly gilded.[4]
The larvae roll the leaves of Lamium species.
