Autosticha banauscopa is a moth in the Autostichidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1929. It is found on the New Hebrides.[1]

The wingspan is 10-11 mm. The forewings are light greyish-ochreous or whitish-ochreous, more or less densely irrorated dark fuscous, especially posteriorly. The costal edge is ochreous-whitish, with a fuscous dot beyond middle. The stigmata are cloudy, dark fuscous, variable in distinctness, the plical somewhat obliquely before the first discal. There is an almost marginal series of cloudy dark fuscous dots around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are grey.[2]
