Caloptilia hemidactylella is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is mostly found in central and northern Europe, although there are recent records from Belgium and the Netherlands.[1] It is a rare species in Great Britain with no reliable records since the 1950s, when it was recorded in Gloucestershire.
