Ophthalmitis sinensium is a moth of the family Geometridae first described by Oberthür in 1913.[1] It is found in China, India, Vietnam, Thailand and probably in Sri Lanka.[2]

Its wings are greenish. Hindwing medial line is close to the inner margin of the discal spot. In male genitalia, the uncus has only one pair of lateral processes.[3]
