Alloclemensia maculata is a moth of the family Incurvariidae. It is found in Japan on the islands of Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu.[1]

The wingspan is 14–16.5 mm for males and 12–16 mm for females. The forewings are dark brown with a violet to reddish bronze lustre and two indistinct yellowish white costal spots.

The larvae feed on Viburnum species, including Viburnum furcatum. They create a depressed orbicular case consisting of two pieces of the same size. Pupation takes place in spring.
