Leptocroca porophora is a moth of the family Oecophoridae first described by Edward Meyrick in 1929.[3][2] It is endemic to New Zealand.[1] The classification of this moth within the genus Leptocroca is regarded as unsatisfactory and in need of revision.[4] As such this species is currently also known as Leptocroca (s.l.) porophora.[3]
