Deltoplastis amicella is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Walker in 1864. It is found in India (Assam), Burma and Sri Lanka.[1]
The wingspan is about 12 mm.[2] Adults are cinereous 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 diffusedly 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]
