Anarsia acrotoma is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1913. It is found in southern India.[1]
The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are light greyish-ochreons, irrorated with whitish and with a few scattered fuscous and blackish scales, as well as a short black dash beneath the costa near the base. There is a triangular blackish patch occupying the median third of the costa. The apex is truncate, reaching more than half across the wing and there is a very small dark fuscous spot on costa at three-fourth, and a black dot or dash beneath it. There are also indications of blackish dots round the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are grey, becoming iridescent-hyaline anteriorly.[2]
