Pacificulla geniola is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1931. It is found in New Guinea.

The wingspan is 10-11 mm. The forewings are blackish with a broad orange median band, on the costa occupying less than the median third, widened downwards and on the dorsum reaching from about one-fourth to three-fourths. The hindwings are deep orange, in males with a small black submedian spot at the base and in females with a small blackish basal patch. There is a blackish apical band, occupying one-fourth of the costa in males and two-fifths of the costa in females. This band is narrowed downwards to a point on the middle of the termen.
