Ochsenheimeria taurella, the Liverpool feather-horn or the rye stem borer, is a moth of the family Ypsolophidae.

This species can be found in most of Europe, as well as North Africa and the Middle East.

The females have the antennae with long black erected scales for over half of their length.

[4] This species is rather similar to Ochsenheimeria vacculella, but the latter lacks the erect antennal scales.

They feed on various coarse grasses (Poaceae), including cock's-foot (Dactylis glomerata), rough bluegrass (Poa trivialis), rye (Secale cereale) (hence the common name), meadow foxtail (Alopecurus pratensis), barley (Hordeum vulgare), oat (Avena sativa) and wheat (Triticum aestivum).
