Timocratica loxotoma is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Busck in 1910. It is found in Mexico, Costa Rica and Guatemala.[1]

The wingspan is 43-50 mm. The forewings are brownish grey with narrow ochreous edges and with three transverse, oblique, nearly parallel narrow lines. The first from the basal fourth of the costa somewhat undulated to the apical third of the dorsal edge, the second also somewhat curved from about the middle of the costa to just above the anal angle and the third is nearly straight from just before the deflexion of the costal edge to the middle of termen. The hindwings are bright ochre-yellow. The underside of all wings is bright ochre-yellow.[2]
