Tisis polychlora is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1926. It is found on Borneo.[1]

The wingspan is about 23 mm. The forewings are rather dark grey, with pale ochreous markings. The basal area to one-third of the costa and two-thirds of the dorsum is suffused with pale ochreous irroration except towards the base of the costa. There is a very oblique suffused fascia from two-fifths of the costa to the end of the cell, where a suffused costal streak runs to near the apex, and suffused lines along all the veins posteriorly. The hindwings are pale yellow-ochreous, with modified hairs scales in the disc and towards the costa and a suffused grey streak from the base along the dorsum and termen to two-thirds of the wings.[2]
