Limnaecia hemimitra is a species of moth in the family Cosmopterigidae. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded in various regions. The moth is characterized by its small size and distinctive wing patterns, which are typical of the Cosmopterigidae family.

As with other species in this family, Limnaecia hemimitra is thought to have a specialized diet, likely feeding on certain plants or plant materials during its larval stage. However, detailed information about its life cycle, habitat preferences, and ecological role remains limited.
