Bucculatrix simulans is a moth in the family Bucculatricidae. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Texas to Iowa and Ohio. [2] It was described in 1963 by Annette Frances Braun.

The wingspan is 9.5–10 mm. The forewings are white, with ocherous markings with brown-tipped scales in darker specimens. The hindwings are pale ocherous. Adults have been recorded on wing from January to July.

The larvae feed on Helianthus species. They create a stem gall. The galls are somewhat variable in shape often appearing as a swelling on the side of the stem. The larvae are full-grown in fall, overwintering in the larval stage within the gall. Pupation takes place in a white to light grey cocoon. [3]
