Deltoplastis ovatella is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It is found in Taiwan.[2]

The wingspan is 15–17 mm. The forewings are relatively narrow with a small, elongated costal patch before the middle. The hindwings are pale grey and broader than the forewings.

Etymology

The name is derived from the oval-shaped median fascia on the forewings.
