Teldenia specca is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by Wilkinson in 1967. It is found in the north-eastern Himalayas and from western China to Borneo, Sumatra, Palawan, Buru and New Guinea.

The length of the forewings is 9-11.5 mm for males and 10.5-12.5 mm for females. The ground colour, fringe and costa are white, the forewings with buff lunulate postmedial and subterminal fasciae. There is a row of buff spots edged in dark brown immediately proximal to the postmedial fascia. There is also a row of dark brown or black terminal spots. The hindwings are as the forewings.
