Phyllonorycter triflorella is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from France , Corsica, Sardinia, Italy and Croatia.
The larvae feed on Argyrolobium zanonii, Calicotome villosa, Cytisus villosus and Genista sericea. They mine the leaves of their host plant. They create an upper-surface tentiform mine that contracts so strongly that the margins of the leaflet close over the mine. Pupation takes place within the mine.[2]
