Chloroclystis inductata is a moth of the family Geometridae.[2] It is endemic to New Zealand.[3] It was first described by Francis Walker in 1862.[4] The male of this species can be easily identified by the distinctive 'scalloping' of the hindwings.
The larvae feed on the flowers of various plants.[5]
