Conopomorpha cyanospila is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is known from New Zealand.[1]
The larvae feed on Alectryon excelsus. They feed on the fruit of their host plant.[2] They enter the young fruit through circular holes drilled in the capsule and seed walls. They then tunnel into the contents and kill the seeds.
