Ectoedemia intimella is a moth of the Nepticulidae family. It is widely distributed in northern, western and central Europe, but not yet recorded from Norway. In the south it is only known from northern Italy, northern former Yugoslavia and Romania.
The wingspan is 5.3 to 6.8 mm. Adults are on wing in June and July and there is one generation per year.
The larvae feed on Salix aurita, Salix babylonica, Salix caprea, Salix cinerea, Salix dasyclados, Salix fragilis, Salix pentandra, Salix phylicifolia and Salix viminalis. Initially they mine the petiole and later a leaf of their host plant, feeding in a ″green island″.[1]
