Homadaula calamitosa is a moth in the Galacticidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1930. It is found in Sudan.

The wingspan is 14-15 mm. The forewings are grey, irrorated with white and strewn with numerous irregular dark grey or blackish small spots or dots forming longitudinal series. The plical stigma forms a larger blackish dot and there is some irregular white suffusion beyond this beneath the middle of the disc. The hindwings are whitish-grey with dark grey veins.

The larvae feed on the flowers of Acacia arabica and Acacia nilotica.
