Bucculatrix columbiana is a moth in the Bucculatricidae family. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from British Columbia and California.
The wingspan is 6.5–7 mm. The forewings are white, with markings formed by pale greyish ocherous and greyish ocherous dark brown-tipped scales. The hindwings are grey, with a faint coppery luster. Adults have been recorded on wing in June and November.
The larvae feed on Iva axillaris. Pupation takes place in a white cocoon, spun on the underside of the leaves.[2]
