Bucculatrix albedinella is a moth of the Bucculatricidae family. It is found in most of Europe (except Ireland and the Iberian Peninsula).[1]
The wingspan is 8–9 millimetres (0.31–0.35 in).
The larvae feed on Ulmus species. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a winding full depth corridor with a proportionally long larval chamber. The black frass is deposited in a broad central line, leaving a clear zone at either side. Older larvae live free on the leave, causing window feeding.[2]
