Bucculatrix locuples is a moth in the family Bucculatricidae. It was described in 1919 by Edward Meyrick. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Kentucky, Quebec and Ohio.


The larvae feed on Alnus semdata . They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a slender thread, its early part filled with black frass. Older larvae live freely, eating irregular patches of leaf tissue, leaving the upper epidermis intact. Pupation takes place in a bright brown to almost black, hairy cocoon, which is spun on a twig.
