Phyllonorycter nigrescentella is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is known from all of Europe except the Balkan Peninsula.The wingspan is 7–9 mm.The larvae feed on Lathyrus vernus, Lotus, Medicago, Trifolium alpestre, Trifolium medium, Trifolium pratense, Trifolium repens, Trifolium rubens, Vicia dumetorum, Vicia sativa and Vicia sepium. They mine the leaves of their host plant. They create a lower surface tentiform mine that occupies an entire leaflet. The lower epidermis is strongly folded. Fully developed mines are strongly inflated and the leaflet is completely folded over the mine making it practically invisible.

Phyllonorycter luzonica is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is known from Luzon island in the Philippines.The wingspan is 4.2-4.7 mm.The larvae feed on Celtis species. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a tentiform blotch-mine occurring on the lower side of the leaf, usually on the space between lateral veins or sometimes along the leaf margin. It is oblong and 1.5 to 2 mm long and has a contracted lower epidermis with two or three longitudinal wrinkles. The lateral margins of the mine are sometimes united with each other to form a cylindrical chamber in the mine-cavity. Pupation takes place inside the mine without a particular cocoon.

The mine has the form of a very large, irregularly oblong, tentiformed blotch occurring upon the upper surface of the leaf, usually situated on the space between two lateral veins. The upper epidermis of the leaf on the mining part is brownish-white in colour, with one or two strong, longitudinal ridges in fully matured state.

The poplar leafminer moth (Phyllonorycter populiella) is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is known from Canada (British Columbia) and the United States (Kentucky, Ohio, Washington, Maine and New York).The wingspan is 6-7 mm.The larvae feed on Populus species, including Populus alba, Populus balsamifera, Populus dilatata, Populus grandidentata, Populus nigra and Populus tremuloides. They mine the leaves of their host plant.

Phyllonorycter malayana is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is known from Pahang, Malaysia.The wingspan is 6.2-6.8 mm.The larvae feed on Engelhardia spicata. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of an elliptical or oblong, typically tentiform blotch-mine found on the upper side of the leaf, usually on the leaf-vein, with the upper epidermis of the mining part having a longitudinal wrinkle in the middle. Pupation takes place inside the mine-cavity.

Phyllonorycter lemarchandi is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is known from Madagascar.The length of the forewings is 2–2.3 mm. The forewing ground colour is yellowish-ochreous with white markings. The hindwings are pale grey with a long pale greyish ochreous fringe of lighter shading than the hindwing. Adults are on wing in early September and from late December to early January.The larvae feed on Sida rhombifolia and Solanum species. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of an abaxial, oval, blotch-mine situated close to the base of the leaflet.

Phyllonorycter medicaginella is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is found from Denmark and Poland to Belgium, the Alps, Bulgaria and Ukraine.The larvae feed on Medicago falcata, Medicago lupulina, Medicago sativa, Melilotus alba, Melilotus officinalis, Ononis spinosa, Trifolium dubium, Trifolium campestre and Trifolium repens. They mine the leaves of their host plant. They create a lower-surface tentiform mine that occupies an entire leaflet. Fully developed mines are strongly inflated and the leaflet is folded so closely that the mine is almost invisible from below. In this stage the larva has eaten all parenchyma above the mine, giving the mine a white colour. The pupa seems to lie freely in the cocoon without a cocoon, but the cocoon is in fact part of the inner lining of the mine. The frass is deposited in a clump in a corner of the mine, separated from the pupa by a partition.

Phyllonorycter mwatawalai is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is found in the Morogoro area of Tanzania. The habitat consists of a degraded savannah-like, natural biotope rich in low-growing woody Acacia trees and bushes and thick low dry herbarious vegetation. The area was surrounded by cultivated agricultural areas (orchards and maize fields).The length of the forewings is 1.7 mm. The forewing is elongate and the ground colour is ochreous with a golden lustre and with white markings.

Phyllonorycter parisiella is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is found from the Czech Republic and Slovakia to the Pyrenees, Sardinia, Italy and Macedonia and from France to Romania.The larvae feed on Quercus pubescens. They mine the leaves of their host plant. They create a medium-sized lower-surface tentiform mine with one strong fold in the lower epidermis. The roof of the mine is generally not completely eaten out, leaving a green centre. Pupation takes place within the mine in a cocoon that is almost entirely covered with frass.
