Clepsis senecionana, the rustic tortrix, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found from Europe to eastern Siberia.
The wingspan is 13–16 mm. Adults are on wing from May to June. It flies in warm sunshine during the afternoon and evening, disappearing when the sky becomes cloudy.
The larvae feed on Convallaria, Dorycnium, Gentianella amarella, Lotus, Lysimachia, Myrica, Polygonatum, Onobrychis viccifolia and Vaccinium myrtillus. In Scotland it has also been recorded on Picea, Pinus and Larix. On conifers, the larvae mine into leaves and buds of young trees, causing shoot dieback and multi-leaders.
