Atosioides accola is a species of moth of the family Limacodidae. It is found in western Sumatra and southern Thailand on altitudes between 130 and 1,000 meters.[1]

Etymology[edit]
The species name is derived from Latin accola (meaning neighbour) because of the distribution of both Atosioides species, that both occur on Sumatra.[1]
