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]

The wingspan is 17–24 mm. The moth flies in one generation from July to August [1]..
