Autosticha xanthographa is a moth in the family Autostichidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1916. It is found in Sri Lanka.[1]

The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous with a small basal spot of ochreous-orange suffusion. The stigmata are represented by small cloudy pale ochreous-yellowish spots, the plical beneath the first discal. There is a similar cloudy dot on the dorsum beneath the second discal and there are some pale ochreous-yellowish suffusion towards the costa before the apex, in which are two dark fuscous pre-marginal dots. There are also three pale yellowish dots on the termen. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
