Brachiolia egenella is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in Sri Lanka, India, South Africa and on the Comoros and Mauritius.[2]
The larvae feed on Cardiospermum species, feeding from within the rolled leaves of their host plant. Full-grown larvae reach a length of about 11 mm. They have a light green body and a shining light yellow head. Pupation takes place in a white elongate-oval cocoon formed inside a rolled leaf.[3]
