Dichrorampha simpliciana is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in Europe and the Near East.
The wingspan is 12–16 mm. The forewings are considerably dilated posteriorly and the fold reaches 2/5. The ground colour is dark fuscous, irrorated with pale ochreous. The costa is posteriorly obscurely streaked with dull purplish-metallic. There is a paler triangular straight edged median dorsal blotch, darker-margined anteriorly and three minute indistinct black dots on the termen towards middle, and sometimes a whitish subapical dash. The termen is rounded, little oblique, sinuation well-marked. The hindwings are fuscous, darker posteriorly. The larva is dull whitish; head light brown; plate of 2 faintly brownish[1]
The moth flies from May to September.[1].
The larvae feed on Artemisia vulgaris.
