Autosticha chernetis is a moth in the Autostichidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1906. It is found in Sri Lanka. The wingspan is 16-17 mm. The forewings are whitish-ochreous, tinged with fuscous and irrorated with dark fuscous and a dark fuscous dot on the base of the costa, followed by an undefined whitish-ochreous dot. The discal stigmata are large, with the plical beneath the first discal. There is a small pre-tornal spot of dark fuscous suffusion and an almost marginal row of dark fuscous or blackish dots along the posterior portion of the costa and termen. The hindwings are grey.
