Sigilliclystis kendricki is a moth in the Geometridae family. It is found in Hong Kong and probably inland China.
The length of the forewings is about 9 mm for males and 10 mm for females. Adults have a grey-brown ground colour with a light suffusion of red scales at the base of the forewing and costa. Both the fore- and hindwings are lightly dusted with brown scales.[2]
Etymology
The species is named in honour of Roger Kendrick, in recognition of the work he has done on Hong Kong moths.
