Cuphodes diospyri is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is known from South Africa.[2]
The larvae feed on Diospyros natalensis. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a small, very irregular, semi-transparent blotch-mine in a cluster usually near the top of the leaf.
