Cameraria hamameliella is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from Ontario, Québec, and Nova Scotia in Canada and throughout the eastern United States.[2][3]
The wingspan is about 7 mm (0.28 in).
The larvae feed on Hamamelis species, including Hamamelis virginiana. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a blotch mine on the upperside of the leaf. The mine is whitish and sometimes almost circular. The pupa of the summer brood is formed beneath a flat silken cocoon.
This species was first described by August Busck in 1903.[3]
