Anthophila alpinella is a moth of the family Choreutidae. It is found from the north-eastern United States and southern Canada to British Columbia, the Rocky Mountains, and along the Pacific Coast to Marin County, California.
The forewings are cream with heavy brown dusting.[1]
In Canada, adults have been recorded from early June to early July and in September.
