Stomphastis rorkei is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known to live in South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe.[2]
The larvae feed on Croton gratissimus. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a moderate, irregular, oblong, semi-transparent blotch mine which starts as a narrow, rather indistinct gallery.
