Acrobasis advenella is a species of snout moth in the genus Acrobasis . It was described by Johann Zincken in 1818 and is found in most of Europe. [1] They have an oligophagous diet primarily feeding on plants from the Rosaceae family including the black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa). [2] They cause significant damage to organic chokeberry farming, due to their widespread impact on the quality and quantity of the black chokeberry plants. [3]

[4] [5] Meyrick describes it - Head and front of thorax ferruginous-reddish. Forewings brownish-ochreous, none or less mixed or suffused with reddish and dark fuscous; lines slender, obscurely whitish, first bent, preceded by a straight whitish line joining it near costa, space between them reddish suffused anteriorly with dark fuscous, second darker-edged; a broad fascia of grey-whitish irroration from costa before second line to lower extremity of first, including two obliquely placed darker discal dots; some whitish irroration towards termen.
