Tisis argyrophaea is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1910. It is found on Borneo.

The wingspan is about 21 mm. The forewings are orange with the base narrowly fuscous, towards the costa silvery-metallic. There is a silvery-metallic violet-fuscous spot on the costa at one-third, and one on the dorsum opposite. A large violet-fuscous patch occupies the apical two-fifths of the wing except along the costa, where the ground-colour forms a streak reaching to near the apex, with the margin suffused. The hindwings are fuscous, slightly purple-tinged.
