Chloroclystis costicavata is a species of moth in the family Geometridae. It is found on Mauritius and Réunion.[2]
The wingspan of this moth is approx. 12–15 millimetres (0.47–0.59 in). The edge of the forewings of the males have a convexed shape that makes it easy to distinguish them from the females.
Their larvae feed on the flowers of Lantana camara (Verbenaceae).
