Agonopterix ferocella is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in southern France, Italy, Ukraine and Russia. The larvae feed on Cirsium ferox and Echinops species. They initially mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a full depth blotch in the apical part of the leaf. Later, they vacate the mine and window feed at the underside of the leaf. Larvae can be found from June to July.
