Bucculatrix ochrisuffusa is a moth in the Bucculatricidae family. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Ohio.

The wingspan is about 8 mm. The forewings are bright reddish ocherous, with a few brown-tipped scales on the costal area beyond the middle and along the dorsum. The hindwings are brownish fuscous, darker than the forewings. Adults have been recorded on wing in June.

The larvae probably feed on Quercus alba.[2]
