Bucculatrix rhamniella is a moth in the family Bucculatricidae. It was described by Gottlieb August Wilhelm Herrich-Schäffer in 1855. It is found in Poland , the Baltic region, Hungary and Romania.[1] A record from the Netherlands is based on a misidentification.
The wingspan is 10–11 mm. There are usually two generations per year.
The larvae feed on Rhamnus catharticus and Rhamnus pumilis. They mine the leaves of their host plant.[2]
