Phyllonorycter cytisella is a moth of the family Gracillariidae.[1][2] It is endemic to the Canary Islands and is known from Gran Canaria, La Palma, and Tenerife.[2]
Ecology
The larvae feed on Chamaecytisus palmensis[2] and Chamaecytisus proliferus.[2][3] They mine the leaves of their host plant. They create a lower-surface tentiform mine, with deep folds. The mine strongly contracts the leaflet. Pupation takes place inside the mine.[3]
