Protolychnis trigonias is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.^[1]

The wingspan is about 16 mm (0.63 in). The forewings are dark purplish bronzy fuscous, the dorsum marked with obscure whitish-ochreous strigulae. There is a narrow obscure straight antemedian fascia of whitish-ochreous suffusion and there is a small whitish-ochreous discal spot at two-thirds, as well as a small triangular whitish-ochreous costal spot before three-fourths. The hindwings are pale whitish ochreous, irrorated (sprinkled) with light fuscous except towards the base.^[2]
