Cirrhochrista annulifera is a moth in the Crambidae family. It is found in Papua New Guinea, on the D'Entrecasteaux Islands (Fergusson Island, Goodenough Island)[1] and in Australia, where it has been recorded from Western Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland.

The wingspan is about 30 mm. The forewings are satin-white with brown edges and three brown triangular marks along the costa.

The larvae probably feed on Ficus species.[2]
