Caloptilia speciosella is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from Ohio and Kentucky in the United States.[1]
The larvae feed on Acer rubrum. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a small transparent blotch. In its earliest linear stage, it is an underside mine, situated in the angle at the base of one of the heavier veins.
