Deltoplastis amicella is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1864. It is found in India ( Assam), Myanmar and Sri Lanka. [1]
The wingspan is about 12 mm. [2] Adults are a cinereous (ash-grey) fawn colour, with narrow wings. The forewings are acute, with a large black cinereous-bordered spot on the interior border before the middle, and a short transverse streak of the same hue in the disc at two-thirds of the length. There is a blackish exterior band, which extends diffusely to the streak on the inner side, and is bordered by a slightly undulating cinereous line on the outer side. The exterior border is very oblique. [3]
