Idiophantis anisosticta is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1916. It is found in Sri Lanka and Burma.
The wingspan is 11-l2 mm. The forewings are ochreous-fuscous, with the discal stigmata blackish, the plical represented by an elongate cloudy darker fuscous spot beyond the first discal. There is an obtusely angulated pale bluish-grey dark-edged line from two-thirds of the costa to the dorsum before the tornal prominence, towards the costa becoming white and edged with blackish. There is a black dot following the angle of this line, edged beneath by a small spot of coppery-metallic suffusion, a blackish dot on the tornal margin beyond the line, and sometimes a small indistinct blackish dot between these. The apical prominence beyond the line is light ochreous-yellowish, cut by an oblique whitish posteriorly blackish-edged line near and parallel to the preceding line, the blackish margin running into the apex. The hindwings are dark grey.
