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]
As of June 2024 [update] , the Global Biodiversity Information Facility listed the following species: [1]
Antiblemma is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae.
Cyclophora is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. Many species are referred to as mochas in reference to their colouration, primarily in Europe.
Epimecis is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae first described by Jacob Hübner in 1825.
Hammaptera is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by Gottlieb August Wilhelm Herrich-Schäffer in 1855.
Leptostales is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
Lobocleta is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by Warren in 1906.
Oospila is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae described by Warren in 1897.
Opisthoxia is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
Perizoma is a genus in the geometer moth family (Geometridae). It is the type genus of tribe Perizomini in subfamily Larentiinae. The tribe is considered monotypic by those who include the genera Gagitodes, Martania and Mesotype in Perizoma. Some other less closely related species formerly placed here are now elsewhere in the Larentiinae, e.g. in Entephria of the tribe Larentiini.
Phyllodonta is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae described by Warren in 1894.
Psaliodes is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. The genus was erected by Achille Guenée in 1857.
Sabulodes is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae first described by Achille Guenée in 1857.
Scopula is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae described by Franz von Paula Schrank in 1802.
Stenalcidia is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
Synchlora is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by Achille Guenée in 1857. Adult Synchlora members often have leaf green wings, while larvae occasionally have the property of adorning themselves with pieces of plants in the pursuit of camouflage. The name of the genus comes from Greek, with "syn-" meaning "with", and "chlor" meaning "green".

Oenochrominae is a subfamily of the moth family Geometridae.
