Battaristis acroglypta is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1929. It is found in Colombia.
The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are brownish-grey, on the costal half posteriorly light ochreous-brownish, the costa broadly suffused whitish-grey from the base to beyond the middle, the costal edge black at the base, then white to the middle. Beyond the middle is a wedge-shaped black mark along the costa followed by an oblique white strigula at two-thirds. There is an irregular patch of whitish suffusion about the end of the cell and an elongate blackish mark indicating the second discal stigma, from which a white line runs to the apex. There is a narrow irregular fascia of dark grey and white irroration crossing the wing near the apex. The hindwings are rather dark grey.
