Thubana gilvizonaris is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by 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.

Etymology

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