The first southern hemisphere record of Ectoedemia, based on two species collected from southern Africa, is given. A new species, E. commiphorella, is described .and notes on the leaf-mining habit of the larva are presented. A species, nigrimacula, that was previously assigned to another genus (Nepticula, a junior synonym of Stigmella) is transferred to Ectoedemia.
