Autosticha consimilis is a moth in the Autostichidae family. It was described by Park and Wu in 2003.[1] It is found in Taiwan.

The wingspan is 16-17 mm. The forewings are yellowish brown, speckled with dark scales and with fuscous scales along the costa before the basal one-third and greyish orange beyond. There is a small dark brown streak at the subbasal area. There are also three dark fuscous discal stigmata, the first at the middle of the cell, with the plical below it, the second at the end of the cell. Three to four marginal dots are found on the apical one-fourth of the costa and five to six along the termen. The hindwings are pale greyish brown.[2]
