The lantana leaf miner (Cremastobombycia lantanella) is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is native to the southern United States (including Texas) and Mexico. It was introduced to Hawaii in 1902 to aid in the control of Lantana plants. The wingspan is about 7 mm. Adults are very light brown with whitish bars on the fore wings. Pupation takes place in a white, spindle-shaped ribbed cocoon of about 5 mm long which is suspended in the mine by a silken thread attached at each end.
