Deltoplastis propensa is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1910. It is found in Sri Lanka.[1]
The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are grey, slightly violet-tinged, somewhat sprinkled with whitish and with the costal edge ochreous-whitish from one-third to four-fifths. There is a small oblique dark fuscous mark on the costa at two-fifths, and a transverse spot of fuscous suffusion from the dorsum opposite reaching half across the wing, both edged posteriorly with whitish. The discal stigmata are dark fuscous, slightly whitish-edged, an additional similar dot beneath and slightly beyond the second discal and an almost straight slender white line from four-fifths of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, as well as a black line around the apex and termen. The hindwings are grey, tinged with ochreous-yellowish.[2]
