Acrocercops scandalota is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from India (Karnataka).[1]

The larvae feed on Mallotus philippinensis and Helicteres isora. They probably mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a blotch beneath the upper cuticle of the leaves. Several larvae are found in one mine.
