Aplochlora is a genus of moths in the Geometridae family, first described by Warren in 1893. They have slender palpi, with the second segment reaching the top of the head and the third extending forward. In males, the antennae are thickened with comb-like projections. The male abdomen has a cylindrical tuft at the end, and the hind tibiae are not widened. The forewings show a specific vein pattern: vein 3 starts before the angle of the cell; veins 7 to 11 are stalked from before the upper angle, and veins 10 and 11 are stalked and fuse with vein 12. Vein 10 also fuses with veins 8 and 9. On the hindwings, vein 3 starts before the angle of the cell, and vein 8 fuses with the cell in the middle.
