Capusa cuculloides is a moth of the Geometridae family. It is known from Australia.

Adults have pale grey wings with dark veins. It folds its wings along its back when at rest.[2]

The larvae feed on the foiliage of Eucalyptus species. Young larvae are green with a dark brown dorsal line on the thorax, dark brown dashes on the abdomen, and white spiracles with red outlines. Later instars are reddish.
