Herbita is a Neotropical genus of moths in the family Geometridae, erected in 1860 by Francis Walker. [1] Species resemble those of Ira , Microgonia and Oxydia , but can be told apart from these by the male genitalia, where the defining characteristics of those three genera are absent in Herbita. [2] Many but not all species of Herbita feature broken, wavy or indistinct line markings and a triangle of three dark brown or pale grey dots on the forewing. [2] Species occur from Mexico south to Brazil, Chile and Argentina. [2] [1]
