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]

Three subspecies are recognized.

  • Cleora alienaria fumipennis Prout, 1929[6] - Christmas Islands
  • Cleora alienaria gelidaria Walker, 1863[7]
  • Cleora alienaria rasanaria Swinhoe, 1915[8]
