Auzata minuta is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by Leech in 1898.[1] It is found in China (Hubei, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Chekiang, Shansi).[2]

The wingspan is about 25 mm for males 28-30 mm for females. Adults are white, the forewings with a fuscous dot at the end of the cell and a fuscous grey line beyond. The latter is angulated below the costa and then curved to the inner margin. In the hollow of this curve is a fuscous patch, tinged with ochreous and intersected by the white veins, which are here dotted with black. The subterminal band is fuscous grey, interrupted towards the costa. The hindwings have a double central line and a submarginal band, both fuscous grey. There are two dark dots beyond the central line and towards the abdominal margin.[3]
