Thiotricha microrrhoda is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1935. It is found in Taiwan.

The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are whitish, irregularly sprinkled grey, the costa narrowly clear white from the base to two-thirds, beneath this a grey subcostal streak becoming dark fuscous from one-third to two-thirds, the disc suffused grey between this and the fold. There is a small dark grey subdorsal mark at one-fifth and a very oblique dark fuscous streak from above the dorsum at two-fifths to the disc at two-thirds, then longitudinal almost to the termen beneath the apical projection, where it receives dark grey very oblique streaks from the costa and dorsum meeting at a point. There is a dark grey striga from the costa before the apical fiĀlament along it to the apex and there are some silvery scales on the terminal concavity. The hindwings are grey.
