The Round-winged Muslin (Thumatha senex) is a moth of the Arctiidae family. It is found in northern and central Europe, the Alps, northern Asia Minor, the Crimea and south-western Siberia.
The wingspan is 15–20 mm. The wings are sparsely scaled, giving them a thin, papery appearance. Adults are on wing from mid June to mid August in one generation.
The larvae feed on lichen (especially Peltigera canina) and mosses.
