Cameraria fasciata is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from Pahang and Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia.[2]
The wingspan is about 4.2 mm.
The larvae feed on Spatholobus species, including . They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of an oblong, tentiform blotch-mine placed on the space between two lateral veins of the lower side of the leaf. The lower epidermis of the mining part is strongly contracted by silken threads, with a longitudinal wrinkle as in most species of Phyllonorycter. Pupation takes place within a whitish, ellipsoidal cocoon, which is placed inside the mine.
