Poecilasthena pulchraria is a moth of the family Geometridae.[1] It is found in Australia and New Zealand. It was first described by Edward Doubleday in 1843 and named Acidalia pulchraria.[2]
The green looping caterpillars feed on the flowers, developing fruits and older foliage of Astroloma species in Australia and on Leucopogon fasciculatus in New Zealand.[3]
