Hyloconis wisteriae is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from the islands of Shikoku and Kyushu in Japan.[1]

The wingspan is 5–6 mm.[1]

The larvae feed as leaf miners on Wisteria floribunda.[1] The mine is orthogenous, entirely flat, circular or elliptical in form and located on the lower surface of the leaf.[1] The cocoon is white, orbicular and spun in the centre of the mine-cavity.[1]

Both sexes of this species are known for their asymmetrical genitalia which sets them apart from all other species of the genus Hyloconis.[1]
