Celypha aurofasciana is a small moth species of the family Tortricidae. It is native to Europe but occurs in some other places as an introduced species.
Its wingspan is 12–14 mm. Adults are on wing from June to July.
The caterpillars feed in a silken gallery amongst mosses and liverwort on tree trunks. Recorded as food plants are mosses, but they have also been suspected[1] to eat rotting wood.
