Eupithecia lasciva is a moth in the family Geometridae. It is found in China ,[3] where it is known from Tibet, Qinghai, Gansu, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Yunnan.[2] In Yunnan, specimens have been collected at altitudes up to ca. 4500 meters.[2] Adults are on wing in April, and again from mid-June to mid-September.[2]

Adults have somewhat narrowed, dark grey forewings with a small brown discal spot and an ochre or reddish-ochre patch below it, but which otherwise have mostly inconspicuous markings. Hindwings are off-white and darker near the inner margin and posterior corner.[2]
