Lecithocera caustospila is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1918. It is found in India (Assam).[1]

The wingspan is 14-15 mm. The forewings are ochreous-yellowish sprinkled dark fuscous, with a suffused dark fuscous costal streak from the base to four-fifths, the posterior extremity rather expanded with dark irroration beneath. The discal stigmata are moderate and blackish and there is an undefined blotch of fuscous suffusion on the dorsum beyond the middle, as well as a suffused fuscous patch extending along the termen. The hindwings are light grey.[2]
