Acria amphorodes is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1923.[1] It is found in India (Punjab).[2]
The wingspan is about 22 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous, faintly tinged with brownish. There is a cloudy V-shaped dark brown streak resting on the costal prominences, the apex in the middle of the disc, immediately followed by a raised snow-white dot. There is an indistinct fine dark brown dentate-curved subterminal line and dark brown marginal dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are ochreous-whitish, tinged with grey towards the termen.[3]
