Angelabella tecomae is a moth of the family Gracillariidae and the only species in the genus Angelabella. It is known from Chile.[1]
The larvae feed on Tecoma fulva. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The final instar larva does not feed; it only has the spinneret and labial palpus developed, while other mouth parts are absent.[2]
