Diathrausta ochrifuscalis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by George Hampson in 1903. It is found in the Khasi Hills of India.[1]

The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are brownish ochreous, irrorated (sprinkled) with fuscous. The costal and terminal areas are less strongly irrorated. There are traces of a curved ochreous antemedial line, and ochreous discoidal lunule and three small spots on the costa towards the apex. Both wings have traces of a pale sinuous subterminal line which is more distinct on the underside. There is also a fine black terminal line.[2]
