Trosia circumcincta is a moth of the Megalopygidae family. It was described by William Schaus in 1905. It is found in French Guiana.[1]

The wingspan is about 41 mm. The forewings are dark mouse grey with a red line along the basal third of the costa, then below the costa and along vein 7 to the apex. Another red line is found from the base of the costa to the inner margin near the angle, then up to vein 5 on the extreme margin. The outer two-thirds of the costa and the outer margin below vein 5 are black. The fringe between vein 5 and the apex is yellowish. The hindwings are blackish, with the outer margin broadly red, except a black line on the extreme margin and the fringe between vein 3 and the anal angle.[2]
