Timyra orthadia is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1906. It is found in Sri Lanka.
The wingspan is 16-18 mm. The forewings are whitish-ochreous with a narrow dark fuscous basal fascia and two broad rather dark fuscous fasciae about one-third and two-thirds, the first somewhat narrowed towards the costa, the second rather oblique, more or less constricted in the disc, beneath dilated and confluent posteriorly with a broad dark fuscous suffusion or irroration in the disc. Between these fasciae is a very undefined oblique median line of dark fuscous irroration and there is a dark fuscous terminal streak, thickened at the apex. The hindwings are fuscous, in males with a broad median longitudinal ochreous-yellow band, including a deep central groove, and a subdorsal groove enclosing an ochreous-yellow hairpencil from the base.
