Sarcinodes is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by Achille Guenée in 1857.[1] The species are large with pinkish, mauvish or brownish-gray body and wings. The wings are traversed by between one and three oblique, straight fasciae. The forewing apex is acute, slightly falcate. The male antennae are unipectinate, those of the female are typically filiform, in some species unipectinate. The species are found in east Asia.

The small number of host plant records for Sarcinodes are Helicia (Proteaceae).[2]
