Lophophelma erionoma is a moth of the family Geometridae first described by Charles Swinhoe in 1893. It is found in the Chinese provinces of Hunan, Guangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hainan and Sichuan,[2] and in the north-eastern Himalayas and Sundaland.[3][4] The habitat consists of lower montane and upper montane forests.

Adults are reddish brown with a whitish area just distal to the posterior curvature of the forewing postmedial.[5]
