Bucculatrix anaticula is a moth in the Bucculatricidae family. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Ontario and Kentucky.

The wingspan is 7-7.5 mm. The forewings are chalky white, more or less obscured by a dusting of fuscous-tipped. The hindwings are shining pearly white, or faintly greyish ocherous tinged in males. Adults have been recorded on wing from July to August.

The larvae feed on Ceanothus americanus. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a fine linear mine. Pupation takes place in a white cocoon.[2]
