Plutella psammochroa is a moth of the family Plutellidae first described by Edward Meyrick in 1885.[2][3] It is found in New Zealand.[1] The classification of this moth within the genus Plutella is regarded as unsatisfactory and in need of revision.[1] As such, this species is currently also known as Plutella (s.l.) psammochroa.[2]
