Tisis hemixysta is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1910. It is found on Borneo.[1]

The wingspan is 18-20 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous, with a bronzy-purplish tinge and a transverse orange-streak at one-fourth, enlarged on the costa and extended along it to near the base. There is a transverse orange streak from the dorsum about the middle, reaching two-thirds across the wing. The space between these two streaks is mixed with bright silvery-metallic and there is an orange streak along the costa from the middle almost to the apex. The terminal area is tinged with coppery-metallic. The hindwings are dark fuscous, in males with the costal third thinly clothed with long fine expansible hairs except towards the apex.[2]
