Bedellia boehmeriella is a moth of the Bedelliidae family. It is endemic to Oahu.
The larvae feed on Boehmeria grandis. They mine the leaves of their host plant. Full-grown larvae are about 6 mm long. When full-grown the larva emerges from the leaf and pupates on the under side of the leaf beside a rib, after having spun a few fibers of silk in which to fasten itself. The pupa is about 4.5 mm long. The pupal period lasts about 9 days.
