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 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.
