Biston pustulata is a moth of the Geometridae family. It is found in China (Hainan), southern Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia and Sundaland.[1]
The larvae have been recorded feeding on Acacia mangium and Gliricidia species. They are robust and coarsely mottled pale green (although more bluish grey-green in earlier instars). The head is rugose, dull rufous orange, marked centrally with a darker brown, inverted āVā.[2]
