Mnesiloba intentata is a moth of the family Geometridae. It is known from Borneo, Java, Peninsular Malaysia, Luzon and New Guinea.[2] The species was cited by Hampson that, it is also found in Sri Lanka, but recent observations from the country reject the presence of the species from Sri Lanka.

The wingspan is about 22 mm. Adults are green, irrorated with black. The forewings have a slightly curved black subbasal line with two faint lines between it and the medial area, which is thickly irrorated with black, edged by black lines, and has three minutely waved black lines on it. The hindwings are pale fuscous.[3]
