Ornativalva zonella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Chrétien in 1917. It is found in Algeria, Tunisia, Israel, Saudi Arabia, southern Iran and China (Xinjiang).[1]
Adults have been recorded on wing from March to June.
The larvae feed on Tamarix species. They live in a small silken tube between two or three twigs of the host plant. Pupation takes place on the ground in a cocoon which is covered with particles of soil.[2]
