Ditrigona cirruncata is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by Wilkinson in 1968.[1] It is found in China.

The wingspan is 14-18.5 mm for males and 15.5-19.5 mm for females. The fore- and hindwings are weakly lustrous and white, the forewings with the costa white or pale buff. The fasciae are brownish buff, consisting of antemedial and postmedial fasciae, both lunulate. There is one dark brown distal cell spot on each wing and spots terminate each vein distally, often extended laterally to form a very narrow dark brown terminal fascia. The hindwings are as the forewings.[2]
