Auzata minuta is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It was described by John Henry Leech in 1898. [1] It is found in the Chinese provinces of Hubei, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Zhejiang and Shanxi. [2]

The wingspan is about 25 mm for males 28–30 mm for females. Adults are white, the forewings with a fuscous dot at the end of the cell and a fuscous-grey line beyond. The latter is angulated below the costa and then curved to the inner margin. In the hollow of this curve is a fuscous patch, tinged with ochreous and intersected by the white veins, which are here dotted with black. The subterminal band is fuscous grey, interrupted towards the costa. The hindwings have a double central line and a submarginal band, both fuscous grey. There are two dark dots beyond the central line and towards the abdominal margin. [3]
