Timyra pastas is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1908. It is found in southern India.[1]

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 sprinkles occupies 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.[2]
