Calymma communimacula is a species of moth of the family Erebidae. It is found in central and southern Europe and from Turkey to Transcaucasia and the Middle East.

The wingspan is 18–24 mm. Adults are on wing from July to August.

The larvae live on trees, but do not feed on plant material, but suck dry Coccoidea and use the empty hulls as a protective shelter. Pupation takes place in a spinning on the tree trunk.
