Autosticha xanthographa is a moth in the family Autostichidae found in Sri Lanka.[1] It was discovered by Edward Meyrick in 1916.
The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous, marked by a small basal spot with ochreous-orange suffusion. The stigmata are indicated by small, cloudy pale ochreous-yellowish spots, with the plical situated beneath the first discal. A similar diffuse spot is present on the dorsum beneath the second discal, along with pale ochreous-yellowish suffusion toward the costa before the apex, within which are two dark fuscous pre-marginal dots. The termen also bears three pale yellowish spots. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
