Acroncosa albiflavella is a species of moth of the family Pyralidae. It is found in western North America, including New Mexico and California.
The wingspan is 18-21 mm. Adults have white forewings. The transverse white lines are lost in the ground colour and the antemedial line is indicated only by a broad oblique inner orange band extending from the inner margin to the costa. The subterminal line is indicated by a similar, narrower, sinuate, outer orange band, the latter terminating at the costa in a small blackish spot. There is a well-contrasted black discal dot at the lower, outer angle of the cell and a smaller black dot on the inner margin of the subbasal orange band. The hindwings are whitish with a very faint ocherous or smoky tint.[2]
