Phyllonorycter mwatawalai is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is found in the Morogoro area of Tanzania.[1] The habitat consists of a degraded savannah-like, natural biotope rich in low-growing woody Acacia trees and bushes and thick low dry herbarious vegetation.[1] The area was surrounded by cultivated agricultural areas (orchards and maize fields).[1]
The length of the forewings is 1.7 mm.[1]
