Microcolona thymopis is a moth in the Elachistidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1897.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales.[2]

The wingspan is 6-7 mm. The forewings are light ochreous, irregularly mixed with darker ochreous and whitish, the margins suffusedly irrorated with black. There is some black irroration on the fold towards the base and a blackish dorsal spot near the base. The stigmata is raised, black and partly white-edged. The first discal before the middle, sometimes followed immediately by a small irregular dark fuscous patch. The second is small and the plical is found obliquely before the first discal. There is a patch of blackish suffusion on the costa about two-thirds. The hindwings are grey.[3]
