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]
The larvae feed on Ardisia and Embelia species. They prefer the young leaves. The larvae have a rosy-pinkish-green body and a yellow-green head. Pupation takes place in a sparse cocoon which is made in a curled leaf of the host plant.[6]
