Plectophila acrochroa is a moth in the family Xyloryctidae. It was described by Turner in 1900. It is found in Australia ,[1] where it has been recorded from New South Wales and Queensland.
The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are snow-white with a narrow ochreous streak along the costa from before the middle to three-fourths, slightly broader towards the apex, where it ends in a short, very oblique fuscous streak. There is a small triangular orange-ochreous spot on the costa just before the apex, bounded beneath by a fuscous line. The hindwings are whitish grey.[2]
