Gracillariinae are a subfamily of moths.
The subfamilies of Gracillariidae differ by the adult moth resting posture. 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.
