Calleremites is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. It contains only one species, Calleremites subornata, which is found in China, India (Sikkim) and Myanmar.[1] It was first described by William Warren in 1894 and has only been seen three times since then, the latest in a forest in northern Myanmar.[2]
Adults have grey and olive-green wings, with fine striations particularly on the hindwings.
