Autosticha modicella is a moth in the family Autostichidae. It was described by Hugo Theodor Christoph in 1882.[1] It is found in the Russian Far East (Ussuri), Korea, Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu), Taiwan and China (Heilongjiang, Jilin, Henan, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan, Sichuan).
The wingspan is 13–16 mm. The forewings are pale brownish orange, speckled evenly with dark scales. The first discal stigma is found at the middle, the plical below it and the second at the end of the cell. There are four dots before the apex along the costa and five along the termen. There is also a fuscous diffusion before the tornus on the inner margin. Adults are on wing from mid-June to early November in Korea.[2]
