Pseudocrates soritica is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1918. It is found in southern India.[1]

The wingspan is about 13 mm. The forewings are pale fuscous, sprinkled with dark fuscous, the margins irregularly irrorated (sprinkled) with blackish fuscous, especially along the costa. There is a blackish mark beneath the costa near the base and an oblique blackish mark from the dorsum at one-fourth, as well as an oblique transverse blackish-fuscous blotch representing the combined plical and first discal stigmata, a subtriangular spot representing the second discal. The hindwings are pale grey.[2]
