Kauaiina ioxantha is a moth of the family Geometridae. It was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1899. It is endemic to the Hawaiian island of Kauai.
It has a large amount of orange and yellow scaling. This scaling is flat over the entire face, and it is not drawn out into a peak or erected in front as it is on the other species of the genus Fletcherana, to which it was formerly assigned.
