Timyra parochra is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1906. It is found in Sri Lanka.[1]

The wingspan is 23–27 mm. The forewings are deep yellow ochreous or brownish ochreous, sprinkled with purplish fuscous and dark fuscous. There is a curved postmedian fascia more or less obscurely indicated by margins of purplish-fuscous and dark fuscous suffusion, narrowed dorsally, the enclosed portion sometimes ferruginous tinged. The hindwings are pale whitish ochreous, towards the termen slightly infuscated. There is a slight groove on the lower margin of the cell.[2]
