Parornix alta is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It can be found in the United States (Utah and California).[1]
The larvae feed on Amelanchier alnifolia by mining the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a tentiform mine on the underside the leaf. The epidermis is loosened and much wrinkled, pale brownish and speckled.
