Porphyrosela hardenbergiella

provided by wikipedia EN

Porphyrosela hardenbergiella is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from New Zealand,[1] but may be adventive, since the host plant is Australian. The colony known to Wise has been destroyed since its discovery.[2] This species was last collected in New Zealand in 1955 but as at 2019 was still not known from Australia.[3]

The larvae feed on Hardenbergia species. They mine the leaves of their host plant.[3]
