Hyloconis puerariae is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from the island of Hokkaido in Japan and the Russian Far East.[1]

The wingspan is 5.5-6.5 mm.[1]

The larvae feed as leaf miners on Pueraria lobata, Lespedeza bicolor, Amphicarpaea bracteata and Amphicarpaea edgeworthii var. japonica.[1] The mine is orthogenous, entirely flat and found on the lower surface of the leaf.[1] The cocoon is orbicular in form, white and spun in the centre of the mine-cavity.[1]
