Trifurcula salicinae is a moth of the Nepticulidae family. It is endemic to the Canary Islands.
The larvae feed on Globularia salicina. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a faint, fine, straight corridor along the midrib, that is completely filled with frass. Later the corridor widens considerably, with irregular sides and a heavy frass line that leaves a broad transparent margin at either side. The corridor regularly alternates from upper-surface to lower-surface.
