Cochylidia multispinalis is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in China (Anhui, Gansu, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hebei, Heilongjiang, Hunan, Sichuan).

The wingspan is 9−12 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is yellowish white, with a narrow brownish black stripe along the costal margin from the base to the median fascia. The hindwings are pale grey.

Etymology

The species name refers to the phallus having many spine-shaped cornuti and is derived from the Latin prefix multi- (meaning many) and spinalis (meaning spinate).[2]
