Achroia is a genus of small moths of the snout moth family (Pyralidae). It belongs to the tribe Galleriini of subfamily Galleriinae.

It has only one unequivocally recognized species; two others are placed here but their validity is doubtful:

  • Achroia grisella – Lesser Wax Moth
  • Achroia innotata (Walker, 1864)
  • Invalid junior synonyms of this genus are:

  • Achroea Agassiz, 1847 (unjustified emendation)
  • Acroia (lapsus)
  • Meliphora Guenée, 1845
  • Vobrix Walker, 1864
