Hydriomena deltoidata is a species of moth in the family Geometridae.[3] It was first described by Francis Walker in 1862.[2] This species is endemic to New Zealand.[1] The classification of New Zealand endemic moths within the genus Hydriomena is regarded as unsatisfactory and in need of revision.[4] As such this species is currently also known as Hydriomena (s.l.) deltoidata.[3][4] The adults of this moth are known to pollinate Dracophyllum acerosum and Leptospermum scoparium.[5]
