Simplimorpha promissa is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It is widely distributed in southern Europe with the northern limit running approximately along the southern slopes of the Alps and along the Danube.
The wingspan is 4-4.5 mm. There are almost continuous generations in the Mediterranean area, but there are two to three generations in places where only the deciduous Cotinus occurs.
The larvae feed on Cotinus coggyria, Pistacia atlantica, Pistacia khinjuk, Pistacia lentiscus, Pistacia terebinthus, Pistacia vera and Rhus coriaria. They mine the leaves of their host plant.
