Phyllocnistis drimiphaga is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is known only from cloud forests above 2000 m in Cordillera de Talamanca and Central Volcanic Conservation Area in Costa Rica.

1=Life history of Phyllocnistis drimiphaga.
A Leaf mines on abaxial side of leaf surface with white square enclosing early mine, arrow pointing to pupal cocoon fold B close-up view of early mine, arrow pointing to egg shell remains C same as figure B, but showing frass pattern (photo taken with sunlight projecting through the leaf from behind) D nearly mature old mine on adaxial side E nearly mature old mine on abaxial side (photo taken from adaxial side) F opened mine showing mature sap-feeding larva in situ G opened young pupal cocoon fold, showing cocoon-spinning larva in situ H pupal cocoon fold on adaxial mine I opened cocoon fold showing pupa in situ (dorsal view) J protruded and attached pupal shell (arrow) on pupal cocoon fold on abaxial leaf mine K opened cocoon pupal fold on adaxial mine showing Ageniaspis cocoons in situ.

The length of the forewings is 2.9-3.5 mm.

The larvae feed on Drimys granadensis.
