Scrobipalpa halymella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Milliere in 1864. It is found on the Canary Islands and Malta as well as in Portugal, France and Italy. Outside of Europe, it is found in Morocco, Tunisia and Israel.

The larvae feed on Atriplex halimus. They mine the leaves of their host plant. A single larva mines a number of the central leaves. Older larvae live freely amongst spun leaves. The larvae are yellowish white with bright red length-lines and a black head. They can be found from September to March.[2]
