Bucculatrix gossypii Turner, 1926
|
Bucculatrix gossypii is a moth of the family Bucculatricidae. It is found in Queensland, Australia. The species was described in 1926 by Alfred Jefferis Turner.
The larvae are considered a minor pest, since they feed on the foliage of Gossypium hirsutum. They initially mine the leaves of their host plant. Later, they eat holes in the leaves.
