Phyllonorycter loxozona is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from South Africa and Uganda.[2] The record for Kenya is a misidentification of Cameraria torridella.
The length of the forewings is 2.8–3.2 mm. Adults are on wing from early February to mid-May and from early October to mid-December.[3]
The larvae feed on Dombeya bagshawei, Dombeya emarginata and Dombeya rotundifolia. They mine the leaves of their host plant.
