Epascestria pustulalis is a species of moth in the family Crambidae. It is found in large parts of Europe, except Ireland, Great Britain, Norway, Finland, Denmark, the Benelux, France, Switzerland, Portugal, Slovenia and Croatia.^[2] It is also present in the Near East, including Lebanon^[1] and Turkey.

The wingspan is 17–20 mm.^[3]

The larvae feed on Anchusa officinalis, Anchusa strigosa and Echium species. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a large, full depth, brownish, inflated blotch, mostly positioned against the midrib. The frass is deposited in the central part of the mine. Pupation takes place within the mine.^[4] Larvae have a grey body and a black head. They can be found in May.
