Chrysonasma cassiterota is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It is found on Luzon island of the Philippines.

The wingspan is 16–17 mm. The forewings are glossy violet-grey with a short pale metallic-blue streak on the base of the costa. The markings are orange, irregularly edged blackish. There are irregular subcostal and median streaks from the base, terminating in a direct transverse antemedian fascia and there is a rather oblique postmedian fascia, where an irregular costal streak runs to near the apex, and a median streak to the termen. There is also a fascia of blackish suffusion mixed orange crossing from the apex of the costal streak to the lower part of the postmedian fascia. A blackish marginal line is found around the apex and termen except on the median streak. The hindwings are grey.
