Phyllonorycter memorabilis is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is known from California, United States.[1]
The larvae feed on Lathyrus species. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a large tentiform mine on the underside of the leaf. The loosened lower epidermis is white and so much wrinkled at maturity that the leaf is closely rolled over.
