Timyra alloptila

Timyra alloptila is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1916. It is found in Sri Lanka.

The wingspan is 24—25 mm. The forewings are ochreous-yellow and the markings dark purple-fuscous, with a streak along the costa from the base to two-fifths, with an erect partly yellow tuft beneath it before its middle and a small raised spot on the dorsum beneath this tuft. There is a suffused trapezoidal blotch on the dorsum beyond the middle, and one on the costa at three-fourths, nearly meeting. There is a more or less developed narrow terminal fascia. The hindwings light ochreous-yellow, the costa and tornus suffused with grey and a deep plical groove filled with long expansible yellow-whitish hairs.
