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

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