"Brachyglene" thirmida is a moth of the family Notodontidae first described by Hering in 1925. It is found in Bolivia.

Adults resemble Scea species. Morphological traits demonstrate that wing-pattern resemblance in this case is a result of convergent evolution, perhaps attributable to Müllerian mimicry.
