context_page_description: Glyphipterix acronoma is a species of sedge moth in the genus Glyphipterix. It is endemic to New Zealand.
context_section_description: This species was first described in 1888 by Edward Meyrick under the name Glyphipteryx acronoma.  Meyrick used two specimens collected in January at approximately 4000 ft up Mount Arthur to describe the species. George Hudson also used this name when describing and illustrating this species in 1928. In 1986 the genus Glyphipteryx was judged an unjustified emendation of Glyphipterix Hübner so this species is now known as Glyphipterix acronoma.
  The lectotype specimen is held at the Natural History Museum, London.
