Acontia biskrensis is a moth of the family Noctuidae, primarily known from Biskra, Algeria. It was first described by Charles Oberthür in 1887.[1]
The wingspan is approximately 22–26mm (0.86–1.02 in).[2]
In previous studies, it has been termed Tarache biskrensis. It has also remained synonymous with Tarache grisescens (Rebel, 1947), Tarache biskrensis subsp. orientalis (Brandt, 1893), and Tarache biskrensis subsp. agacinoi (Rungs, 1945), and Tarache agacinoi (Rungs, 1945).[3]
