Thymistadopsis trilinearia is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by Moore in 1867. It is found in north-eastern India, Sikkim and China (Sichuan).

The wingspan is about 28 mm. The forewings are whitish, suffused with pale sandy ochreous. The first line runs from the costa to just before the middle. It is whitish, edged with brown at the costa and angled outward on the subcostal and medial veins, incurved in the cell and oblique below the median to the inner margin before the middle. The exterior line is straight and oblique from the inner margin at two-thirds, twice sharply angled beneath the costa. It is whitish and edged inwardly with brown. There is also a fine brown marginal line and the space at either side of the submarginal line is rather darker. The costal apical area is red-brown between the lines. The hindwings are pale ochreous, with traces of alternate pale and ochreous bands along the inner margin.
