Anisoplaca acrodactyla is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1907. It is found in New Zealand.[1]

The wingspan is 15–17 mm. The forewings are whitish-ochreous, irregularly irrorated (speckled) with brown. The plical and first discal stigmata are rather large, blackish, the plical rather before the first discal. Brown irroration forms a suffused costal patch beyond the middle, and a narrow terminal fascia. The hindwings are grey.[2]
