Thioscelis directrix is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1909. It is found in Peru, Bolivia and Costa Rica.[1]
The wingspan is 62–63 mm. The forewings are light fuscous, paler and whitish tinged towards the costa anteriorly and with the costal edge ochreous brown. There are some ill-defined small blackish dots towards the costa on the median third, and two or three somewhat larger before the apex of the wing, a subterminal series of several very undefined blackish dots on the costal half of the wing and a series of undefined blackish dots or marks along the termen. The hindwings are light or rather dark fuscous, more or less yellow tinged towards the costa posteriorly.[2]
