Phycitodes binaevella is a species of snout moth described by Jacob Hübner in 1813. It is found in most of Europe (except Portugal),[1] Asia Minor, Lebanon and the Palestinian Territories.[2]

The wingspan is 18–27 millimetres (0.71–1.06 in).[3] There is one generation with adults on wing from July to August.[4]

The larvae feed on Cirsium vulgare, Carduus, Aster, Tanacetum vulgare and Artemisia vulgaris.[5] They feed inside the flowerheads of their host plant. The species overwinters as a fully grown larva. Pupation takes place in spring in a cocoon on the soil surface.[6]
