Agonopterix costimacula is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Clarke in 1941.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Maryland, Michigan, Ohio and Ontario.[2]
The wingspan is 21-25 mm. The forewings are ochreous-fuscous, the base and the costa to about the middle slightly lighter. The light basal area is followed by blackish-fuscous shading. There are two black discal spots at the basal third and a light whitish ochreous discal spot, narrowly edged with fuscous, at the end of the cell. There are six to eight fuscous spots on the costa, as well as a series of smaller ones at the ends of the veins around the termen. The wing is irrorated with black scales. The hindwings are light smoky fuscous, but lighter basally.
The larvae feed on Ptelea trifolia.[3]
