Bucculatrix ochrisuffusa is a moth in the family Bucculatricidae. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Ohio. It was described in 1963 by Annette Frances Braun.

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]
