Thudaca campylota is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1893. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Western Australia.[1]
The wingspan is 17–18 mm. The forewings are snow white with bright orange markings, partially blackish edged. The costal edge is blackish towards the base and there is a moderate streak immediately beneath the costa from the base to the costa before the apex. A subdorsal somewhat irregular streak is found from the base almost to the anal angle and there is a transverse streak from two-thirds of the subcostal streak to the middle of the subdorsal, forming an obtuse-angled zigzag in the middle. There is also a straight rather irregular-edged streak from the extremity of the subcostal to the extremity of the subdorsal streak. Some blackish scales are found on the hindmargin. The hindwings are light grey.[2]
