Asaphodes albalineata is a species of moth in the family Geometridae.^[2]^[3] It is endemic to New Zealand.^[1]

Taxonomy[]

A. albalineata was first described by Alfred Philpott in 1915 under the name Xanthorhoe albailineata from a specimen collected in December, at an altitude of 600 metres, on Table Hill on Stewart Island.^[4]^[5] states that the original spelling of albailineata and its repetition in the revision by Edward Meyrick was incorrect and that albalineata should be used.^[3]

Description[]

This species is similar in appearance to but can be distinguished from that species by the unusual pattern on the underside of its hindwings.^[4] Philpott described these markings as "a straight white streak above middle from base to near termen, attenuated posteriorly, margined beneath with brownish-fuscous; a similar streak above dorsum."^[4]
