Trifurcula sanctibenedicti is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It is found in Spain .
The wingspan is 5-5.5 mm.
The larvae feed on Bupleurum fruticescens. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a corridor, mostly starting in or near the tip of the leaf and winding in two loops along the parallel leaf veins. The mine is on the upper-surface and whitish, resembling a Diptera mine. The frass is deposited in a narrow, dark brown or black, often interrupted, central line, occupying about one third of the width of the corridor. Pupation takes place outside of the mine.
