Mustilia columbaris is a moth in the Endromidae family. It is found in India.

The wingspan is 64–90 mm. Adults are pale red-brown, suffused with grey. The forewings have an indistinct waved antemedial line and a dark spot at the end of the cell. There is also an oblique postmedial line, usually indistinct. The hindwings have an indistinct curved postmedial line.[1]

The larvae are greenish brown and lighter behind, with a sphingid-like shape. The skin of the anterior part of the body may be expanded into broad lateral wings.[2]
