Thubana gilvizonaris is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Park in 2013. It is found on Borneo.

The wingspan is 20-21 mm. The forewings are pale brownish orange with a large yellowish-white costal patch occupying one-third to three-fifths length of the costa, with a small, round discal stigma, followed by larger quadrate one in the patch. The hindwings are brownish orange, with a broad orange-white streak along the costa to three-fifths length.

Etymology

The species name refers to the pale yellowish costal patch of the forewing and is derived from Latin gilv (meaning pale yellow).
