Deltoplastis amicella is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Walker in 1864. It is found in India (Assam), Burma and Sri Lanka.
The wingspan is about 12 mm. Adults are cinereous fawn-colour, with narrow wings. The forewings are acute, with a large black cinereous-bordered spot on the interior border before the middle, and a short transverse streak of the same hue in the disc at two-thirds of the length. There is a blackish exterior band, which extends diffusedly to the streak on the inner side, and is bordered by a slightly undulating cinereous line on the outer side. The exterior border is very oblique.
