Acalyptris staticis is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It is only known from the coast of Tenerife, but might also be present on the other Canary Islands and Morocco.

The wingspan is 4–5 mm.

The larvae feed on Limonium pectinatum . They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a gallery, initially leaving parenchyma layers on both sides of leaves intact. The mine is filled with frass. Later, the mine consists of a full-depth mine with narrow broken frass. Here, the mine is contorted and usually follows a curved zigzag track, with each turn touching the previous turn.
