Heliozela eugeniella is a species of moth in the family Heliozelidae. It was described by August Busck in 1900 and is known only from Florida. [2]
The wingspan of the adult moth is 3.8 mm (0.15 in). The head, thorax, and forewings are shining dark purple and the hindwings are dark gray. There is a golden-metallic band on the middle of the forewing. The larvae are leaf miners that feed on Eugenia species, forming an upper blotch mine. When ready to pupate the larva cuts out an oval case which falls to the ground. [3]

The Heliozelidae, commonly known as shield-bearer moths, are a family of small, day flying monotrysian moths distributed worldwide. The larvae of most heliozelid species are leaf miners who cut distinctive shield-shaped cases from the surface of the host leaf, hence the common name. Some species are considered pests of commercial crops such as grapevines, cranberries, and walnuts. The taxonomy of this family is poorly understood.
