Palumbina tanyrrhina is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1921. It is found on Java in Indonesia.[1]

The wingspan is 11–12 mm. The forewings are light violet grey in males, darker in females. The markings are ochreous white. There is a narrow irregular outwards-oblique fascia from the dorsum before the middle, hardly reaching the costa, tending to project on each side on the fold. An irregular-edged inverted-triangular spot is found on the tornus, with a fine dash above it. There is also a small cloudy spot on the termen near the apex. The hindwings are ochreous grey whitish in males and grey in females.[2]
