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]
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]
