Acrocercops strigosa is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is known from Quebec and the United States (Kentucky, North Carolina, Maine and Vermont).[1]
The larvae feed on Quercus alba and Quercus prinus. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts as a white gallery, which suddenly expands into a very large whitish blotch.
