Bucculatrix benacicolella is a moth in the Bucculatricidae family. It was described by Hartig in 1937. It is found in Italy, Hungary, Serbia and the Republic of Macedonia.[1]

The larvae feed on Artemisia alba. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts at the leaf margin. From there, the larvae create elongated fleck mines. Larvae can be found in June.[2]
