Overview

Bucculatrix noltei is a moth in the family Bucculatricidae. It is found from Finland to Belgium, Italy and the Crimea and from the Netherlands to Central Russia. It was described by August Arthur Petry in 1912.

Bucculatrix noltei is declining primarily due to habitat loss and degradation of its specialized host plant environments. The species faces particular vulnerability due to its narrow ecological requirements and dependence on specific plant communities that are increasingly fragmented by human activities.
