Peteliacma is a genus of moths belonging to the subfamily Tortricinae of the family Tortricidae. It contains only one species, Peteliacma torrescens, which is found in Madagascar.

The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are reddish-ochreous, tinged with violet. There is a dark reddish-brown oblique transverse spot from the dorsum at one-third, reaching half across the wing. The central fascia is yellowish-ferruginous and somewhat oblique, broad on the costa and narrowed towards the dorsum. There is a moderate yellowish-ferruginous fascia from two-thirds of the costa to the tornus, the costal area between this and the central fascia suffused with whitish. The apical and terminal area beyond it is also suffused with whitish, with two or three reddish-brown strigulae on the margins towards the apex. The hindwings are ochreous-whitish, thinly scaled and there is an elongate patch of ochreous suffusion on the tornus, as well as several small reddish-fuscous spots towards the apex.
