Gracillariinae are a subfamily of moths.[1]

The subfamilies of Gracillariidae differ by the adult moth resting posture.[2] Most Gracillariinae rest with the front of the body steeply raised; Lithocolletinae and Phyllocnistinae rest with the body parallel to the surface; in Lithocolletinae often with the head lowered.
