Xandrames latiferaria is a moth of the Geometridae family. It is found in Japan, China, the north-eastern parts of the Himalaya and Sundaland.

In genitalia and facies Xandrames cnecozona resembles typical latiferaria but is slightly larger and yellower. It is considered a synonym but might merit subspecific status.

The wingspan is 50–60 mm.

The larvae feed on Lindera species.
