Acrobasis sylviella, the ironwood tubemaker moth, is a species of snout moth in the genus Acrobasis. It was described by Ely in 1908, and is known from eastern Canada and the United States.
There is one generation per year.
The larvae feed on Ostrya virginiana and Corylus species. They draw together several leaves with silk and a tube is constructed. Pupation takes place in a pupal chamber, which is constructed at the end of the tube.[2]
