Hylypnes pudica is a moth in the Xyloryctidae family. It was described by Lower in 1896. It is found in Australia,^[1] where it has been recorded from New South Wales and Queensland.

The wingspan is about 20 mm for males and 22 mm for females. The forewings are creamy-white, with the extreme costal edge fuscous towards the base (faintly perceptible), a small black dot in the middle of the wing at one-third and a second obliquely beyond on the fold, as well as a third above the second. There is a series of fuscous dots from beneath the costa at two-thirds, curved around the hindmargin to the inner margin before the anal angle. The hindwings are white.^[2]
