Porphyrosela hardenbergiella is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is known from New Zealand, but is adventive, since the host plant is Australian. The colony known to Wise has been destroyed since its discovery.
The larvae feed on Hardenbergia species. They mine the leaves of their host plant.
