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. They have an oligophagous diet primarily feeding on plants from the Rosaceae family including the black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa). They cause significant damage to organic chokeberry farming, due to their widespread impact on the quality and quantity of the black chokeberry plants.
