Achlora is a monotypic genus of geometer moth in the family Geometridae, erected by the French entomologist Achille Guenee in 1857 along with its single species, Achlora cuprearia, described the same year. Its taxonomic status is disputed: the Global Lepidoptera Names Index treats it as a synonym of the genus Entogonia, while the reference work Lepidoptera and Some Other Life Forms recognizes it as a valid genus in its own right.
