Bucculatrix citima is a moth in the Bucculatricidae family. It was described by Seksjaeva in 1989. It is found in the Russian Far East (Primorsky Krai) and Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu).

The wingspan is 6–7 mm. The forewings are white with some dark red brown irrorations. The hindwings are grey.

The larvae feed on Rhamnus davurica and Rhamnus japonica. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The young larvae form a spiral linear mine. Pupation takes place in a greyish brown or whitish wine red cocoon.
