Phyllobrostis daphneella is a moth in the family Lyonetiidae.[2][3] It is found in North Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia) in Southern Europe (Portugal, Spain, southern France, Corsica, Sardinia, mainland Italy).[1][3]
The wingspan is 8.8–9.5 mm for males and 9.5–10 mm for females. In France, adults are on wing from April to May and again in August in two generations. The larvae feed on Daphne gnidium. They mine the leaves of their host plant.[1]
