Phyllonorycter didymopa is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is known from South Africa.[2]
The larvae feed on Dombeya rotundifolia. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a long, narrow gallery, mainly along the edge of the leaf. Later it creates a gall-like swelling near the base of the disc.
