Timyra selmatias is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1908. It is found in Sri Lanka.[1]

The wingspan is 18—19 mm. The forewings are purplish-fuscous, sprinkled with blackish. The median third is obscurely streaked with whitish on the veins and there is a narrow irregular orange transverse fascia from three-fifths of the costa to three-fourths of the dorsum. A triangular spot of whitish suffusion is found on the costa about four-fifths, and an irregular suffused whitish streak immediately before the termen. The apical and terminal edge are suffused with dark fuscous. The hindwings are grey.[2]
