Deltoplastis leptobrocha is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1923. It is found in southern India.[1]

The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are brownish-fuscous, the basal third suffused grey. The markings are bluish-leaden. There is an angulated transverse streak before the middle, the costa from this dark fuscous, cut by small white marks at the middle and four-fifths, from the first a line running to the dorsum before the tornus with a posterior loop line leaving it near the costa and rejoining it near the dorsum, from the second a direct transverse line to the tornus with a slight outward sinus in the middle. A black streak is found along the apical part of the costa and a line along the termen, within these a bluish-leaden streak. The hindwings are grey.[2]
