Arhodia is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae. Its only species, Arhodia lasiocamparia, the pink arhodia, is found in mainland Australia and Tasmania.[1] Both the genus and species were first described by Achille Guenée in 1857.[2]

The wingspan is about 60 mm for males and 70 mm for females. The moth flies from October to January.

The larvae feed on Eucalyptus species.
