Leucophlebia lineata is a moth of the Sphingidae family. It is known from Sri Lanka, India, Nepal, Thailand, eastern and southern China, Taiwan, [[Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia (Peninsular, Sarawak), Indonesia (Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Flores, Sulawesi) and the Philippines.[2]
The wingspan is 62-82 mm. The forewing upperside is similar to other Leucophlebia species in having broad pinkish costal and outer marginal areas and a paler median band, but differs in having the hind margin paler, nearer the colour of the median band, and with some picked out in white.
The larvae feed on coarse grasses of the Poaceae family. It is a minor pest of Saccharum species.
