Collix ghosha is a moth in the family Geometridae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1862. It is found in the Indo-Australian tropics, from the Indian subregion, Sri Lanka to Queensland, Japan and New Caledonia. [2] [3]
The wingspan of the male is about 28 mm and the female about 28–30 millimetres (1.1–1.2 in). [4] Palpi with the second joint reaching far beyond the frontal tuft. Mid tibia of the male very much dilated and with a deep groove. Ground color of the body greyish brown. The waved lines are more prominent. A postmedial series of pale specks are more or less developed, and the submarginal series obsolescent. Ventral side whitish. Discocellular spots larger. The postmedial band replaced by a streak series, which at middle almost join the submarginal spots, which form an almost complete band except between veins 3 and 4. [5]
