Eulamprotes unicolorella, the unmarked neb, is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Philogène Auguste Joseph Duponchel in 1843. It is found in almost all of Europe.[1][2] The habitat consists of wastelands and dry open areas.

The wingspan is 10–13 mm.[3] The forewings are bronzy-black, somewhat lighter basally; a nearly straight narrow white fascia beyond middle. Hindwings fuscous, darker posteriorly. Under-surface with white fascia distinct across forewings and forming a costal spot on hindwings.The larva is pale ochreous-yellowish ; 3-12 with broad dull red transverse bands, on 3 and 4 somewhat interrupted ; head yellow - brown ; plate of 2 yellow brown, posteriorly blackish marked.[4]

Adults are on wing from May to July.[5]

The larvae feed within the stems of Hypericum perforatum.[6]
