Neodactria luteolellus, the mottled grass-veneer, is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by James Brackenridge Clemens in 1860.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Labrador and Quebec to North Carolina, west to Arizona and California and north to Alberta.[2] The habitat consists of grassland areas in prairies, aspen parklands and boreal forests.

The wingspan is 13–24 mm. Adults are on wing from late June to mid-July in one generation per year.[3]

The larvae feed on grasses.
