Leucoptera adenocarpella is a moth in the family Lyonetiidae that is endemic to the Iberian Peninsula.[1]
The larvae feed on Adenocarpus decorticans. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a nearly full-depth greenish blotch. The mine is not contracted. The frass is deposited in very fine granules. Pupation takes place outside of the mine.[2]
