Thymistida tripunctata is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1865.[1] It is found in north-eastern India, northern Myanmar and Sichuan, China.[2]

Adults are fawn coloured, tinged with cinereous beneath. The forewings have two transverse denticulated blackish lines. The first antemedial and less distinct than the second, which is postmedial. There is a blackish marginal space with a zigzag fawn-coloured line. There are also three black points on the veins at the end of the discal areolet. The hindwings are pale cinereous.[3]
