Phyllonorycter malayana is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from Pahang, Malaysia.[2]
The wingspan is 6.2-6.8 mm.
The larvae feed on Engelhardia spicata. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of an elliptical or oblong, typically tentiform blotch-mine found on the upper side of the leaf, usually on the leaf-vein, with the upper epidermis of the mining part having a longitudinal wrinkle in the middle. Pupation takes place inside the mine-cavity. The pupa is enclosed with a whitish, ellipsoidal cocoon, which is covered with grains of frass.

Les chenilles consomment les plantes de l'espèce Engelhardia spicata (en). Elles minent les feuilles de leur plante hôte. La mine se présente sous la forme d’une mine elliptique ou oblongue, typiquement tentiforme, située sur le dessus de la feuille, généralement dans la veine de la feuille, l’épiderme supérieur de la partie minière ayant une ride longitudinale au milieu. La nymphose a lieu à l'intérieur de la mine. La chrysalide est entourée d'un cocon ellipsoïdal blanchâtre recouvert de grains d'excréments[1].
