Atomotricha colligatella, the Olearia Skeletoniser, is a moth of the family Oecophoridae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1864.[2] It is found in New Zealand.[3][1]

In 1897, Richard William Fereday noted that Edward Meyrick was not able to identify this species as being of New Zealand.[4] George Hudson wrote in his 1928 book The Butterflies and Moths of New Zealand that he was "unacquainted with this species".[5]

Its larvae have been found feeding on various Olearia species, including O. solandri, O. fragrantissima and O. laxiflora; the larvae are classified as Olearia specialists.[6]

In a 1917 paper, Meyrick tentatively listed its habitat as "North Island (?)".[7] A study conducted at the end of the 20th century found A. colligatella larvae in Fiordland, Eastern Otago, and West Coast on New Zealand's South Island.[6]
