Dindica polyphaenaria is a moth of the family Geometridae first described by Achille Guenée in 1857. It is found in Taiwan,[2] the Himalayas, south-east Asia and Sundaland.
The larvae feed on the young foliage of Litsea species. They are leaf green with subdorsal yellow-white and lateral white lines over the abdominal segments and with obscure, oblique white lines between them. There is also a narrowish yellow ventral stripe with similar oblique yellow lines between it and the lateral line. Pupation takes place in a folded and spun together leaf.[4]
