Dentifovea fulvifascialis is a species of moth in the family Crambidae. It is found in Greece,[2] Lebanon,[1] Israel and India.

The larvae feed Heliotropium rotundfolium and probably other Heliotropium species. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a full depth blotch, usually starting at the tip of the leaf. Pupation takes place within the mine.[3] Larvae can be found in May.
