Parectopa bumeliella is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is known from Kentucky and Arkansas, U.S.A.[1] It was described by A.F. Braun in 1939.[2]
The hostplants for the species include Sideroxylon lanuginosum and Sideroxylon lycioides. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a wide upperside linear mine expanding into a white blotch, usually obliterating the early mine. The blotch is roughly oval in outline.
