Thubana gilvizonaris is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Kyu-Tek Park in 2013. It is found on Borneo.[1]

The wingspan is 20–21 mm. The forewings are pale brownish orange with a large yellowish-white costal patch occupying one-third to three-fifths length of the costa, with a small, round discal stigma, followed by larger quadrate one in the patch. The hindwings are brownish orange, with a broad orange-white streak along the costa to three-fifths length.

Etymology[]

The species name refers to the pale yellowish costal patch of the forewing and is derived from Latin gilv (meaning pale yellow).[2]
