Bactrianoscythris pamirica is a moth of the Scythrididae family. It was described by Pietro Passerin d'Entrèves and Angela Roggero in 2008. It is found in Afghanistan, where it has been recorded from the Pamir Mountains.

The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are brown, with the apex very dark brown and with a narrow, whitish line subapically at the costal margin, one third long as the wing. There are two whitish patches in the middle of the wing surface, one long and Y-shaped, extended to two thirds of the wing, and the second rounded at the cell end. The hindwings are greyish and glossy. Adults have been recorded on wing in July.
