Canuza acmias is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1897. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales.[1][2]
The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are whitish-ochreous, irrorated and, towards the costa, posteriorly suffused with dull rosy-ochreous. There is a white spot on the dorsum beyond the middle. It is irregularly edged with blackish. There is also a straight oblique dark fuscous streak from the apex of the wing towards this spot. The hindwings are semitransparent grey-whitish, the veins and a terminal suffusion grey. Adults have been recorded on wing in October.[3]
