Xandrames latiferaria is a moth of the family Geometridae first described by Francis Walker in 1860. It is found in Japan, China, the north-eastern parts of the Himalayas and Sundaland.
In genitalia and facies Xandrames cnecozona resembles typical X. latiferaria but is slightly larger and yellower. It is considered a synonym but might merit subspecific status.
The wingspan is 50–60 mm.
The larvae feed on Lindera species.
