Auzata chinensis is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by Leech in 1898. It is found in China (Hunan, Sichuan, Chekiang, Shensi).

The wingspan is about 38 mm for males 48 mm for females. Adults are similar to Auzata superba, but all the wings have a double antemedial pale fuscous line and an interrupted submarginal band of the same colour. The hindwings have a patch as on the forewings. The fringes of all wings are pale fuscous, interrupted with white at the ends of the nervules.
