Deltoplastis cremnaspis is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1905. It is found in Sri Lanka.[1]

The wingspan is 21-22 mm. The forewings are bronzy-fuscous with the extreme costal edge whitish-ochreous except towards the base. The markings are blackish fuscous, finely edged with whitish-ochreous and there is an irregular triangular dorsal blotch before the middle, reaching four-fifths across the wing, confluent on the dorsum with a triangular posterior dorsal patch of dark fuscous suffusion, whose apex reaches the costa at three-fourths, its posterior edge limited by a nearly straight fine whitish-ochreous line. A small spot is found on the costa before the middle, and a small oblique oval spot in the disc beyond the middle. The hindwings are pale ochreous, the apex and termen narrowly suffused with fuscous.[2]
