Chrysocercops vaticae is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. [2]

The wingspan is 5.7–6.5 mm.

The larvae feed on Vatica bella . They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts as a linear gallery occurring on the upper surface of the leaves. It broadens into a blotch along the margin of the leaves. In mature condition, the blotchy part is contracted upward to make a narrow fold. The cocoon, made in a furrow on the wall of the case, is boat-shaped, ochre-whitish, and usually provided with four minute bubbles on the surface.
