Ypsolopha coriacella is a moth of the family Ypsolophidae. It is known from Germany, Poland, Austria, Switzerland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Russia.

The larvae feed on Abies species.[2] However, the species occurs in the regions with nowadays' absence of the fir, as well. For instance, it has been found just a little to the north-west of Yaroslavl, some 150 km westwards from the most extreme western distribution edge of the fir.[3]
