Cameraria hamameliella is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is known from Canada (Québec and Nova Scotia) and the United States (including Massachusetts, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New York and Connecticut).[2]
The wingspan is about 7 mm.
The larvae feed on Hamamelis species, including Hamamelis virginiana. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a blotch mine on the upperside of the leaf. The mine is whitish and sometimes almost circular. The pupa of the summer brood is formed beneath a flat silken cocoon.
