Bucculatrix cidarella is a moth of the family Bucculatricidae. It is found in most of Europe (except the Iberian Peninsula and the Balkan Peninsula), Kazakhstan and Japan (Honshu).[1] It was described in 1839 by Philipp Christoph Zeller.
The wingspan is 8–9 mm. Adults are on wing May to June. At times there is a second generation in August.
The larvae create a gallery mine in the leaves of alder, including common alder (Alnus glutinosa), grey alder (Alnus incana), green alder (Alnus viridis) or myrtle (Myrica gale).
