Planotortrix puffini is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in New Zealand. It was also present near Sydney in Australia, but this population is thought to be extinct.
The wingspan is 15–18 mm. There is a diamond-shaped patch in the discal cell of the forewings.
The larvae are polyphagous, but prefer small-leaved, hard-leaved gymnosperms and dicotyledonous angiosperms. They have a green body and a green head with narrow brown or blackish stripes.[2]
