Calleremites is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae. Its only species, Calleremites subornata, is found in China, Sikkim in India and Myanmar. [1] Both the genus and species were first described by William Warren in 1894 [2] and it has only been seen three times since then, the latest in a forest in northern Myanmar. [3]
Adults have grey and olive-green wings with fine striations particularly on the hindwings. [2] Warren stated the "expanse of wings" to be 64mm. [2]
