Deoptilia syrista is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from the states of Karnataka and Maharashtra in India and from Malaysia and Taiwan. [2]

The larvae feed on Mallotus philippinensis . They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts as an irregular gallery along the veins under the upper cuticle of the leaf. Later mining occurs under a web spun over the upper surface of the veins. Eating takes place on either side of the vein, but the red dotted glands remain untouched.
