Phyllocnistis atranota is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from New South Wales, Australia.[2]
The wingspan is about 5 mm. Adults have a fringe of hairs around the edge of each wing. The fore wings are shiny white with a pair of gold chevrons on each wing and a black dot on each wing tip.[3]
The larvae feed on Alphitonia excelsa. They probably mine the leaves of their host plant.
