Asymphorodes triaula is a species of gelechioid moth of subfamily Agonoxeninae of the palm moth family (Agonoxenidae), whose taxonomic status is disputed. Alternatively, the palm moths might be a subfamily of the grass-miner moth family (Elachistidae), with the Agonoxeninae becoming a tribe Agonoxenini.[citation needed]
Formerly, this genus was included in the cosmet moths (Cosmopterigidae). It was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1935. It is only known from the Hawaiian islands of Oahu and Hawaii.
