Timyra peronetris is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1906. It is found in Sri Lanka.

The wingspan is 29-30 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous, with a few whitish-ochreous scales and a tuft of scales in the disc near the base, as well as a transverse light ochreous-yellow mark at three-fifths, somewhat dilated upwards, reaching from near the costa to below the middle. The hindwings are ochreous-yellow with a moderate suffused dark fuscous streak along the costa, dilated at the apex. There is a suffused dark fuscous streak proceeding from a the basal tuft of scales along the dorsum and termen to above the middle, widest at the tornus and gradually attenuated. A groove is found along the fold, enclosing an exceedingly long expansible pale ochreous-yellowish hairpencil.
