provided by wikipedia EN

Timyra stasiotica is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1908. It is found in Sri Lanka.[1]

The wingspan is 24–28 mm. The forewings are fuscous or whitish fuscous, sprinkled with dark fuscous, sometimes sprinkled with whitish or deep ochreous, in males with a tuft of raised scales in the disc near the base. There is an indistinct rather oblique sometimes curved slender deep yellow-ochreous fascia from three-fifths of the costa to three-fourths of the dorsum, often incomplete or reduced to a small discal spot. The hindwings are whitish ochreous yellowish, the costa and the termen narrowly suffused throughout with fuscous, in males more widely towards the apex and with a submedian groove containing an expansible pencil of very long ochreous-whitish hairs.[2]
