Autosticha leukosa is a moth in the family Autostichidae. It was described by Kyu-Tek Park and Chun-Sheng Wu in 2003.[1] It is found in Sichuan, China.
The wingspan is 14–16 mm. The forewings are creamy white with scattered brownish scales and two spots at the subbasal area. There is a brownish spot on the costa at the middle and a large suffusion at the apical three-fourths. The first discal stigma is large, with the small plical below it and the second at the end of the cell. There is a series of brownish spots along the termen and three to four dots at their inner side. There is also a large triagonal brownish suffusion on the tornus. The hindwings are greyish brown.
Etymology[]
The species name refers to the creamy white wing colour and is derived from leukos (meaning white).[2]
