Cameraria guttifinitella is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is known from Canada (Manitoba, Québec) and the United States (including Texas, California, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New York, Vermont, Connecticut and Illinois).[2]
The wingspan is about 7 mm.
The larvae feed on Rhus toxicodendron, Rhus toxicodendron, Toxicodendron pubescens and Toxicodendron radicans. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a flat, whitish blotch mine on the upperside of the leaf. Often, two or more mines occur on a single leaf, so that, by the completion of larval development, almost the entire surface of the leaf is mined.
