Caloptilia speciosella is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is known from Ohio and Kentucky in the United States. The larvae feed on Acer rubrum. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a small transparent blotch. In its earliest linear stage, it is an underside mine, situated in the angle at the base of one of the heavier veins.
