Thiotricha hamulata is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1921. It is found in Indonesia (Java).[1]

The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are shining white with the costal edge dark fuscous towards the base and with a slight elongate dark fuscous mark on the dorsum at one-fourth. There is a slender very oblique dark fuscous streak from the middle of the dorsum, reaching nearly half across the wing and a small cloudy fuscous spot on the dorsum before the tornus, as well as a very oblique wedge-shaped dark fuscous mark from the costa towards the apex and a small irregular black apical spot. The hindwings are grey-whitish.[2]
