Digitivalva pappella is a moth of the Acrolepiidae family. It is found in Spain and on the Canary Islands.[1]

The larvae feed on Allagopappus dichotomus. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a full depth blotch. Pupation takes place outside of the mine in a reticulate cocoon.[2]
