Borboryctis euryae is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from Japan (Honshū, Kyūshū, Shikoku and Tusima).[3]
The wingspan is 6.9–8.1 millimetres (0.27–0.32 in).
The larvae feed on Eurya emarginata and Eurya japonica. They mine the leaves of their host plant and induce a gall in their mine at fourth instar.[2]
