Timyra floccula is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Bradley in 1965. It is found in Uganda.
The wingspan is about 22 mm. The forewings are buff yellow, the anterior edge of the costa slightly deeper yellow. The markings are ochreous, very diffuse and poorly defined. The basal area of the wing to near the middle is lightly suffused with ochreous, the suffusion extending along the costal margin towards the apex and spreading into the distal area. There is the semblance of a weak ill-defined brownish fascia from below the costa before the middle, slightly outward-oblique to the inner margin. A similar indistinct fascia is found from below the costa to the inner margin before the tornus. The hindwings are maize yellow, with an admixture of buff yellow in the distal area and below the median vein to the base, and an elongate area of greyish brown scales occupying the cell at the middle of the wing.
