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

The wingspan is 17–18 mm. The forewings are light fuscous, slightly purplish tinged, more or less suffused with whitish ochreous on the costal half. There is a small spot of dark fuscous suffusion on the base of the costa and a fascia-form blackish-fuscous spot from the dorsum before the middle, reaching two-thirds across the wing. A short dark fuscous oblique streak is found on the costa before the middle and a slender sometimes interrupted dark fuscous pale-edged mark on the transverse vein. There is also a somewhat incurved whitish-ochreous line from the costa to the tornus, edged anteriorly by more or less dark fuscous suffusion. A dark fuscous interrupted line is found around the apex and termen. The hindwings are light fuscous tinged with ochreous.[2]
