Sauris interruptata is a moth of the family Geometridae first described by Frederic Moore in 1888.^[2] It is found in India's north-east Himalayas, Sri Lanka,^[3] the Ryukyu Islands, Taiwan,^[4] Myanmar, Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo, the Philippines,^[5] and possibly the Moluccas and New Guinea.

The wings of the male are more elongate than those of the female. Forewings fasciated with buff, apple green and blackish brown. Hindwings dull pale brown. Hind tibia bears a dark grey hair-pencil which is large and conspicuous. The female is similar to the male but has less elongate wings and heavily striated and fasciated. Caterpillars feed on Cinnamomum species.^[6]
