Thubana cherandra is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1906. It is found in Sri Lanka.[1]

The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous, purplish tinged and the stigmata are small, faintly darker, with the plical beneath the first discal, edged posteriorly by a minute grey-whitish dot. There are ochreous-yellowish subtriangular dots on the costa at two-fifths and four-fifths, and on the dorsum near the tornus. The hindwings are grey.[2]
