Antispila aristarcha is a moth of the family Heliozelidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1916. [1] It is found in India.
The wingspan is 4–5 mm. The forewings are dark bronzy-fuscous. The basal fourth of the wing is shining purplish-coppery. The markings are silvery-metallic. The hindwings are grey.
The larvae feed on Vitis species. [2] They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a transparent blotch. Many larvae are found on a single leaf.
A family of primitive monotrysian moths in the order Lepidoptera, Heliozelidae are small, metallic day-flying moths with shiny smooth heads.

The larvae are leaf miners and the vacated leaf mines are distinctive because the larva leaves a large hole at the end.
