Autosticha nothropis is a moth in the family Autostichidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1921. It is found in South Africa and Zimbabwe.[1][2]

The wingspan is about 21 mm. The forewings are fuscous, with the bases of the scales grey-whitish. The stigmata are large, blackish, the plical rather obliquely before the first discal. There is an almost marginal series of small blackish dots around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are grey.[3]
