Poecilasthena subpurpureata is a species of moth of the family Geometridae. It was first described by Francis Walker in 1863 and it is endemic to New Zealand.[2] A synomic species, Astheniodes polycymaria (the two species have almost identical male genitalia),[3] has a holotype that was recorded by George Hampson as being from India , which, as Dayong Xue and Malcolm J. Scoble point out in their paper, would be a very strange distribution pattern.[3] Louis Beethoven Prout reasonably calls this an error in his 1926 paper.[4]
