This is the first report of Euzophera vinnulella Neunzig (Pyralidae: Phycitinae) feeding on the bark of fig trees, Ficus carica (Moraceae), in northern California. We describe the immature stages, and provide images of the larva, pupal exoskeleton, and male genitalia from the reared adults. The immatures of E. vinnulella (and the genus Euzophera Zeller) are compared to those of Ectomyelois ceratoniae Zeller, or the carob moth.
