Thymistadopsis albidescens is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It was described by George Hampson in 1895.[1] It is found in the Indian states of Sikkim and Assam.[2]

The wingspan is about 42 mm. Adults are greyish white, the forewings with a black speck at the end of the cell and a postmedial black spot on the costa. There is an oblique fine waved line from the apex to the inner margin beyond the middle with a black subapical mark on it. The marginal area is browner with indistinct submarginal and marginal brown lines. The hindwings have traces of an oblique subbasal line and there is a postmedial black band, as well as a diffused submarginal line and fine marginal line.[3]
