Phyllonorycter ipomoellus is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is found in south-western Rwanda. The habitat consists of open clearings in montane wet forests at an altitude of about 1,800 meters.

The length of the forewings is 2.71–2.82 mm. The forewing ground colour is ochreous with white markings. The hindwings are pale grey with slight bronze shading and shine and with a long fringe of the same shading as the hindwing. Adults are on wing in mid-August.[1]

The larvae feed on Ipomoea bracteata. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a small, tentiform mine. The mine is made on the underside of the leaf, usually on the subbasal part. There may be one or two mines present on a single leaf.

Etymology

The specific name is derived from the generic name of the host plant, Ipomoea.
