Deltoplastis clerodotis is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1910. It is found in Sri Lanka.[1]

The wingspan is 13-14 mm. The forewings are fuscous, with a few dark fuscous scales and a small blackish spot on the base of the costa, as well as a rounded-transverse blackish-fuscous blotch extending on the dorsum from one-fourth to half and reaching two-thirds across the wing, partially whitish-edged. There is an oblique blackish mark on the costa before the middle, edged with ochreous-whitish. A curved-transverse blackish-fuscous mark is found on the transverse vein, edged with ochreous-whitish and there is a moderate blackish-fuscous fascia adjacent to this posteriorly, edged posteriorly by an ochreous-whitish line from five-sixths of the costa to the tornus. A black marginal line is found around the apex. The hindwings are rather dark grey.[2]
