Parafomoria halimivora is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It is found in the Iberian Peninsula.
The length of the forewings is 2.1-2.3 mm for males and 1.8-2.2 mm for females. Adults are on wing in April, May and September. There are probably several generations per year.
The larvae feed on Halimium alyssoides , Halimium atriplicifolium , Halimium halimifolium and Halimium ocymoides . They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a narrow tortuous corridor, the first section is hardly visible. The frass is deposited in a thick central line, almost filling the width of the gallery. Pupation takes place outside of the mine.

Nepticulidae is a family of very small moths with a worldwide distribution. They are characterised by eyecaps over the eyes. These pigmy moths or midget moths, as they are commonly known, include the smallest of all living moths, with a wingspan that can be as little as 3 mm in the case of the European pigmy sorrel moth, but more usually 3.5–10 mm. The wings of adult moths are narrow and lanceolate, sometimes with metallic markings, and with the venation very simplified compared to most other moths.
