Acalyptris punctulata is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It is found in California.
The wingspan is 4.5–5.5 millimetres (0.18–0.22 in).
The larvae feed on Ceanothus cuneatus and Rhamnus californica. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine is a serpentine track, often bent back on itself and indistinct in its early stages on the thick-leaved Ceanothus. It is pale green with broad black line of frass on the Rhamnus leaves. The cocoon is reddish brown or grayish.
