Acrobasis juglanivorella is a species of snout moth in the genus Acrobasis. It was described by Neunzig in 1986, and is known from Wisconsin, U.S.A.
The larvae feed on Juglans nigra. They mine the buds of their host plant shortly after bud break in spring. They cause further damage by mining out new shoots.[2]
