Acrocercops panacifinens[2] or Eumetriochroa panacifinens[3][4] is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is endemic to New Zealand.[3][4] In 2019 Robert Hoare and colleagues proposed that this species be provisionally assigned to the genus Eumetriochroa.[5]
The wingspan is about 10 mm for females and 8 mm for males.[1] The larvae feed on Neopanax arboreus and probably N. colensoi.[5]
