Timocratica monotonia is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Strand in 1911. It is found in Brazil (Amazonas), Guyana, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.[1]

The wingspan is 45-56 mm. The forewings are fuscous irrorated grey-whitish and with the costal edge bright orange to near the apex. There are three very indistinct brownish oblique lines from just beneath the costa, but not reaching the dorsum, the third directed towards the termen below the middle. The hindwings are ochreous-yellowish, towards the base and dorsum deeper yellow.[2]
