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

The wingspan is about 22 mm. The forewings are fuscous, sprinkled with whitish and with the costal edge whitish ochreous, on the basal fourth dark fuscous, with a small blackish-fuscous basal spot and a very large blackish-fuscous triangular blotch edged with whitish extending on the dorsum from near the base to beyond the middle, and nearly reaching the costa at two-fifths. There are two connected small round dark fuscous spots on the transverse vein, edged with whitish and a large rounded blackish-fuscous blotch immediately beyond this, connected by short bars with the costa at five-sixths and the dorsum before the tornus, edged with whitish. A blackish line is found around the apex and termen. The hindwings are fuscous.[2]
