Tisis argyrophaea is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1910. It is found on Borneo. [1]
The wingspan is about 21 mm. The forewings are orange with the base narrowly fuscous, towards the costa silvery metallic. There is a silvery-metallic violet-fuscous spot on the costa at one-third, and one on the dorsum opposite. A large violet-fuscous patch occupies the apical two-fifths of the wing except along the costa, where the ground colour forms a streak reaching to near the top, with the margin suffused. The hindwings are fuscous, slightly purple tinged. [2]
