Timyra pristica is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1916. It is found in Sri Lanka.[1]

The wingspan is 16-18 mm. The forewings are rather light fuscous, with scattered dark fuscous scales. The markings are very undefined, formed of dark fuscous and blackish irroration. There is a basal patch occupying about one-fourth of the wing, the edge convex on the upper half and sinuate beneath. There are transverse lines before the middle and at two-thirds, the first rather incurved, pale-edged anteriorly, the second curved inwards on the median third, pale-edged posteriorly. There is a terminal fascia, widest opposite the apex and narrowed to a point at the tornus. The hindwings are whitish-ochreous, the apex suffused with pale grey.[2]
