Autosticha pachysticta is a moth in the family Autostichidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1936. It is found in Korea, Japan (Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, Ryukyus) and China (Sichuan).

The wingspan is 13-14 mm. The forewings are whitish-ochreous irrorated fuscous with subcostal, median, and subdorsal blackish dots at the base. The stigmata are large, brown irrorated blackish or wholly blackish, with the plical beneath the first discal, an additional dot on the fold slightly before the second discal. There is a marginal series of dots of blackish irroration around the posterior part of the costa and upper part of the termen. The hindwings are light grey.
