''Elibia linigera'' is a moth of the family Sphingidae . It is known from the Philippines.

It is very similar to ''Elibia dolichus'', but the forewing outer margin is slightly more convex and the apex more acute. The forewing underside has a ragged submarginal band that is darker red and broader than in ''Elibia dolichus''. Because of the similarities, it was considered a synonym of ''Elibia dolichus'' for some time.
