Lichenaula circumsignata is a moth in the family Xyloryctidae. It was described by Thomas Pennington Lucas in 1900. It is found in Australia,^[1] where it has been recorded from Queensland.

The wingspan is 22–24 mm. The forewings are white, freely dusted with iron grey, and black linear markings, and diffused slaty-grey patches. There are two black dots separate or indistinctly united at the base of the costa and the base of the wing, opposite the centre. There is a straight line from before one-eighth of the costa, to within one-third of the hindmargin, where it becomes a slaty diffusion. A third concave line is found in the disc, extending over the middle third of the wing and there is a short bracket line at two-thirds spanning one-third of the wing, but rather nearer the costa than the inner margin. There are four slaty-grey lines from the costa, the first beyond half reaching one-third across the wing, the remaining three nearer the costa short. A wavy slaty-grey line or effusion is found beyond the second costal line to the inner margin at three-fourths. There is also a subterminal diffused band of the same colour, and a row of terminal spots forming a more or less interrupted line. The hindwings are fuscous drab, with the veins darker.^[2]
