Philodoria pittosporella is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It was first described by Otto Herman Swezey in 1928. It is endemic to the Hawaiian island of Oahu.[1]
The larvae feed on Pittosporum species. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The larva emerges from the mine to spin a cocoon on the leaf surface.
