Angelabella tecomae is a moth of the Gracillariidae family and only species in the Angelabella genus. It is known from Chile.[1]

The larvae feed on Tecoma fulva. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The final instar larva doesn't feed, it only has the spinneret and labial palpus developed, while other mouth parts are absent.[2]
