Cleora alienaria is a moth of the family Geometridae first described by Francis Walker in 1860. [1] It is found in Sri Lanka, [2] the Indian subregion to the Andaman Islands, Thailand, Sundaland, Taiwan, [3] and Lesser Sundas as far east as Timor and Christmas Island.
Adults are polymorphic and show clear color differences; this leads to confusion of classification. The discal spot of the forewing is clearly defined. The caterpillar is a leafy green color with fine linear marbling. There is a narrow, lenticular, transverse white bar anterior to dorsolateral brown tubercles. This white bar is divided centrally by a black triangle. The caterpillar is known to feed on Falcataria moluccana , Acacia mangium , Cinnamomum , Sambucus , [4] and Dalbergia monetaria . [5]
