Nemapogon clematella, the barred white clothes moth, is a moth of the Tineidae family. It is found in most of Europe[2] and in North America, where it has been recorded from Maryland and North Carolina.[3] The habitat consists of woodlands.[4]
The wingspan is 12–15 mm. Adults are on wing from June to August.
The larvae feed on fungi, including Hypoxylon fuscum and Fomes fomentarius, growing under the bark of dead twigs of elm, oak, beech and hawthorn.[5] The species overwinters in the larval stage. Pupation takes places in the fungus or wood.[6]
