Pseudocoremia leucelaea, also known as the forest looper, conifer flash or the white-marked brown, is a species of moth in the family Geometridae. The species was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1909. It only occurs in New Zealand, where it is found in the North, South and Stewart Islands. This species inhabits both native and non-native conifer forests. The larvae feed on the leaves of a variety of conifers. Larvae are nocturnal; during the day they cling to twigs with their prolegs holding their bodies rigidly extended. This posture, as well as the colouration of the larva, helps it avoid detection. The larvae have been shown to be parasitised by a parasitic wasp in the genus Glyptapanteles. This species pupates in soil or leaf litter underneath host plants. Adults are variable in appearance and are on the wing throughout the year. They are nocturnal and are attracted to light. A longitudinal study indicated this moth suffered a population decline in the study area in Lower Hutt the mid-1980s, from which the population did not recover. It has been hypothesised that this decline was caused by the arrival of the wasp species Vespula vulgaris in New Zealand.
