Sarisophora tamiodes is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1910. It is found in New Guinea.

The wingspan is 13-14 mm. The forewings are deep ochreous-yellow, with some scattered dark fuscous scales, especially posteriorly. The discal stigmata are dark fuscous, from the second a more or less marked dark fuscous line runs directly towards the dorsum but not reaching it. The hindwings in males are pale ochreous- yellowish, deeper towards the apex, slightly fuscous-tinged on the tornal area. The hindwings of the females are grey, the apex yellow-tinged.
