Timyra metallanthes is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1905. It is found in Sri Lanka.[1]

The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are fuscous, sprinkled with whitish ochreous except on the basal and terminal areas. There is an indistinct cloudy whitish-ochreous fascia at one-fourth and an orange fascia before three-fourths, dilated on the costa. The hindwings are fuscous, paler and thinly scaled towards the base, with an ochreous-yellowish hair-pencil.[2]
