Lophophelma rubroviridata is a moth of the family Geometridae first described by William Warren in 1898. It is found on Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra and Borneo.[2][3] The habitat consists of lower and upper montane forests.

Adults have pale ochreous-brown wings, traversed by strongly defined, zigzag black fasciae with a distinctive bluish tinge. The underside is pale yellowish buff with submarginal bands that are relatively even in width and run well clear of the margin.[4]
