Thudaca mimodora is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales,[2] Queensland, the Australian Capital Territory and Victoria.
The wingspan is about 20 mm. Adults have satin white wings with two brown diagonal stripes and a brown border around each forewing.[3]
The larvae feed on the new shoots of Leptospermum. They are green and live in a slight web. The pupa is attached to a leaf by a cremaster and sticks out. It is unprotected by a cocoon.
