Acraga puno is a moth in the Dalceridae family. It was described by S.E. Miller in 1994.[1] It is found in southern Peru. The habitat consists of tropical moist and tropical premontane wet forests.
The length of the forewings is 14 mm. Adults are very similar to Acraga ampela, but differ in the forewing pattern, which is lighter brown. The lines are also not as fine and the brown patch along the hindwing anal angle is longer. Adults are on wing in March and November.
