Thiotricha atractodes is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1922. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]

The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are ochreous-whitish with the dorsal area grey within a yellow-whitish streak along the fold, the dorsum whitish towards the base and the extreme costal edge dark fuscous anteriorly. There is a grey subcostal line from the base to a grey patch occupying the apical half of the wing, including a light orange upcurved streak from above the tornus to the apex, and a similar terminal streak meeting it at the extremities. There is also a round black apical dot preceded on the costa by a small white dot. The hindwings are grey with a small black apical dot preceded by whitish.[2]
