Acrocercops macaria is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from Queensland and New South Wales, Australia.[2]
The larvae feed on Acronychia baueri, Acronychia laevis, Euodia micrococca, Halfordia drupifera and Halfordia kendack. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of an elongate, gall-like blotch in the deeper tissues of the leaf, rather inflated and showing only as a slightly convex swelling on both leaf surfaces.
