Ectoedemia minimella is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It is widely distributed in the Holarctic.[1][2][3]

The wingspan is 5-6 mm.[4] Adults are black with whitish fascia and eyecaps.[4] Adults are on wing from May to June with one generation per year.[5]

Ectoedemia minimella mine Tir Stent, North Wales

The larvae are leaf miners and feed on species of birch, alder, and hazel.[5] The mine consists of a short tortuous corridor that widens into a blotch, often between two lateral veins, with scattered frass.[3] Pupation takes place outside of the mine.[3]

This species was first described by Swedish naturalist Johan Wilhelm Zetterstedt in 1839.[1]
