Vulcaniella klimeschi is a moth of the family Cosmopterigidae. It is found in Macedonia, mainland Greece and Crete.
The wingspan is 7–9 mm. Adults have been recorded in the beginning of June.
The larvae feed on Salvia ringens. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a full depth corridor along the midrib, continued in a blotch.
