Asaphodes citroena is a species of moth in the family Geometridae. This species is endemic to New Zealand.

Taxonomy

This species was described by Charles E. Clarke in 1934 as Xanthorhoe citroena using material collected by himself in December 1928 at Waiho Gorge near the Franz Josef glacier in Westland.[1][2] George Hudson discussed and illustrated this species under the name Xanthorhoe citroena in his 1939 book A supplement to the butterflies and moths of New Zealand.[3] In 1987 Robin C. Craw proposed assigning this species to the genus Asaphodes.[4] In 1988 John S. Dugdale agreed with this proposal.[1] The holotype specimen is held at the Auckland War Memorial Museum.[1]

Cilia light orange slightly barred with brownish. Hindwings deep orange with lighter suffusion alternating with brownish.[2]|sign=|source=}}
