Deltoplastis causidica is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1910. It is found in Assam, India.[1]

The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are fuscous sprinkled with whitish, the basal and costal areas more or less wholly suffused with whitish ochreous. There is a blackish-fuscous spot on the base of the costa and two large trapezoidal blackish-fuscous blotches edged with whitish, the first extending on the dorsum from one-sixth to the middle, one angle almost reaching the costa at one-third, the other on the submedian fold, the second blotch with its anterior angles adjacent to a curved blackish-fuscous whitish-edged spot on the transverse vein, the posterior angles resting on the costa at five-sixths and the dorsum before the tornus. The hindwings are rather dark grey.[2]
