Caloptilia aurantiaca is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from Madeira and the Canary Islands.

The larvae feed on Hypericum canariense , Hypericum glandulosum , Hypericum inodorum and Hypericum reflexum . They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts as an epidermal corridor, but later becomes a shallow tentiform mine. In the end, the larva lives freely under a folded leaf tip. [2]
