Salebriopsis is a monotypic snout moth genus erected by Hans-Joachim Hannemann in 1965.[1] Its single species, Salebriopsis albicilla, was first described by Gottlieb August Wilhelm Herrich-Schäffer in 1849. It is found in most of Europe, except Ireland, Portugal, most of the Balkan Peninsula and Ukraine.[2]

The wingspan is 19–21 mm.[3] Adults are on wing from May to July in one generation per year.[4]

The larvae feed on Salix species, Tilia cordata,[5] Corylus and Alnus glutinosa. They feed between rolled leaves of their host plant.
