Choristoneura palladinoi is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. The species is endemic to Ethiopia, where it is known only from the Harenna Forest in the Bale Mountains. The wingspan is about 15 mm. The head and thorax are rust brown. The forewings are pale reddish-brown with dark rust-brown markings. The hindwings are brownish.
Choristoneura palladinoi was described by the entomologists J. Razowski and P. Trematerra in 2010 on the basis of an adult male specimen collected from the Bale Mountains in Ethiopia. The species is named after Alenuccio Palladino, who collected the holotype of this species and several other Ethiopian moths.[1]
The species resembles C. dinota in external morphology.[1]
