Hyperaspis circumclusa is a species of beetle of the family Coccinellidae. It is found in Brazil.
Adults reach a length of about 2.2 mm. They have a reddish yellow body and yellow head. The pronotum is dark brown, with the lateral one-fifth yellow. The lateral one-fourth of the pronotum is also yellow. The elytron is reddish yellow, but the lateral and apical margins have a wide yellow border. The sutural margin is dark brown.
The species is named for the lateral yellow border encircling nearly the entire body except the head. [1]
