Acrocercops quadrisecta is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is known from India (Maharashtra and Maharashtra).[1]
The larvae feed on Bridelia retusa and Bridelia stipularis. They probably mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts as a wandering narrow gallery and then an irregularly shaped blotch under the upper cuticle of the leaf.
