Timyra pastas is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1908. It is found in southern India.

The wingspan is 19—23 mm. The forewings are whitish-ochreous-yellowish irregularly sprinkled with blackish and dark fuscous. There is a small blackish basal spot and a broad suffused dark fuscous antemedian fascia. A broad suffused fascia of dark fuscous and black irroration occupyies the apical fourth of the wing. The hindwings are dark fuscous, in males with a short subdorsal groove, beneath which is a short fringe of whitish-ochreous hairs.
