Thiotricha flagellatrix is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1929. It is found in India (Assam).[1]

The wingspan is 10–11 mm. The forewings are white or whitish with a slender grey streak beneath the costal edge from the base to the middle and a slender irregular very oblique dark fuscous streak from near the middle of the dorsum to the disc beyond two-thirds. There are two very oblique dark fuscous streaks (the second browner) from the costa towards the apex reaching half across the wing, meeting a fine dark fuscous terminal line rising from an inwards-oblique mark from the tornus and ending in a small black apical dot. The hindwings are grey.[2]
