Thiotricha galenaea is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1908. It is found in Sri Lanka.[1]

The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are shining ochreous white with an indistinct grey very acutely angulated transverse line about three-fourths, not reaching either margin. There is some grey suffusion towards the termen and a white almost marginal line along the posterior part of the costa and termen, at the apex preceded by an orange dot and followed by a black dot, where a blackish line proceeds along the upper part of the termen. The hindwings are whitish grey, towards the apex whitish ochreous and with a blackish apical dot.[2]
