Thiotricha galactaea is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1908. It is found in southern India.^[1]

The wingspan is 13–15 millimetres (0.51–0.59 in). The forewings are ochreous whitish with two elongate blackish dots obliquely placed towards the dorsum at about one-fourth and a very oblique blackish median streak reaching from near the dorsum to above the middle. There is a blackish longitudinal mark above the dorsum towards the tornus and the posterior fourth of the costa and termen is more or less suffused with dark fuscous. A short oblique whitish streak is found from the costa at four-fifths, and a whitish streak almost along the termen. There is also a white dot before the apex, partially edged with black. The hindwings are pale grey, thinly scaled and with a dark grey dot at the apex.^[2]
