Syntypistis palladina is a species of moths in the Notodontidae family. It is found in Southern Thailand, Sundaland, the Philippines (Palawan and Mindanao).[2] The species prefers lowlands and may be seen the whole year up to 2,000 m.[2]

J. D. Holloway synonymized Syntypistis viridimargo and S. palladina,[3] however comparison of genitalia of males from Mindanao and Sundaland revealed significant differences. This indicates that S. viridimargo might be a subspecies of S. palladina.[2]
