Thudaca circumdatella is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1865. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales.[1]

The wingspan is 15โ€“16 mm. The forewings are snow white with a suffused brownish-ochreous streak along the basal half of the costa, attenuated and very indistinct posteriorly. There is a straight brownish-orange subdorsal streak from the base to the anal angle, the upper edge with short triangular projection near the extremity. The hindwings are ochreous-grey whitish.[2]
