Pamphlebia is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae described by Warren in 1897. Its only species, Pamphlebia rubrolimbraria, was first described by Achille Guenée in 1857.[1][2] It is found in Sri Lanka,[3] Borneo, Indonesia, Taiwan[4] and Australia.

The species' wingspan is 20 mm. Adults are greenish with narrow brown margins to their wings. The caterpillar is a minor pest of Oryza sativa (Asian rice).[5][6]
