Antiochtha leucograpta is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1923. It is found in southern India.[1]

The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are light brownish irrorated dark fuscous and blackish. There is an irregular white streak from the costa at one-third to the dorsum before the middle, preceded by stronger blackish irroration, angulated below the middle, above the middle with a blackish white-ringed dot resting on it. The second discal stigma is transverse, of blackish irroration, ringed white. There is a rather thick irregular white streak from three-fourths of the costa to four-fifths of the dorsum, indented above the middle, stronger blackish suffusion towards the costa before and beyond this. The hindwings are grey, thinly scaled.[2]
