Deltoplastis apostatis

Deltoplastis apostatis is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1932. It is found in Japan.^[1]

The wingspan is about 13 mm. The forewings are pale greyish-ochreous irregularly sprinkled grey with a small dark fuscous spot on the base of the costa and an irregular dark fuscous erect streak from dorsum at two-fifths reaching more than half across the wing, rather dilated on the fold, narrow or interrupted beneath the apex (representing the first discal stigma). There is a wedge-shaped dark fuscous spot on the costa before the middle and two dark fuscous dots slightly obliquely placed on the end of the cell. A narrow dark fuscous fascia is found at three-fourths, somewhat inwards-oblique from the costa, anteriorly suffused, posteriorly edged whitish-ochreous and with a slight median projection. The apical edge and two or three terminal dots are dark fuscous. The hindwings are grey.^[2]
