Lobocleta peralbata is a moth in the Geometridae family. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Arizona to Florida, north to North Carolina.[2]

The wingspan is 11-20 mm. The forewings are white with brown speckling. The antemedial, median, and postmedial lines are dark yellow and there is a dark discal dot between the antemedial and median lines. The hindwings are similar in colour and markings but lack an antemedial line. There is a dark dashed terminal line on both wings.[3] Adults are on wing from December to September.
