Aethiopodes is a genus in the geometer moth family (Geometridae). Sometimes included in Odontopera, other authors treat it as distinct. If valid, it is a small genus with just about 10 species from southern Africa.
Ansorgia is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae. Its only species, Ansorgia divergens, is found in Uganda. Both the genus and species were described by Warren in 1899.
Anthalma is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae. Its only species, Anthalma latifasciata, is found in Panama. Both the genus and species were first described by Warren in 1901.
Colpocraspeda is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae. It has a single species, Colpocraspeda elegans, found in Papua New Guinea. Both the genus and species were first described by Warren in 1907
Dithecodes is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae. Its only species, Dithecodes erasa, is found in Japan. Both the genus and species were first described by Warren in 1900.
Drepanogynis is a genus in the geometer moth family (Geometridae). Long considered to hold about 5 dozen species, this number has been doubled after the last major revision. They are stout-bodied and hairy by geometer moth standards, usually have pale hindwings and rest with their wings angled upwards like a roof, as Nacophorini do. The genus is by and large restricted to Africa south of the Equator, with most species occurring in southern Africa.
Ectropis is a genus in the geometer moth family (Geometridae). They are mostly paleotropical, but also plentiful in Australia and extend into Asia. Only one species – or cryptic species complex – is found in Europe. There are about 100 known species in this genus.
Entephria is a genus in the geometer moth family (Geometridae). There is no unambiguous common name for these moths; like many other members of their subfamily Larentiinae, they are sometimes called "carpets". The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1825.
Gnophos is a genus in the geometer moth family (Geometridae). A mostly Old World lineage, it is abundant in the Palearctic, with some North American species as well; in Europe six species are recorded. This genus has about 120 known species altogether in several recognized subgenera, with new ones still being discovered occasionally.
Hydatocapnia is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae. Its only species, Hydatocapnia marginata, is found in the Naga Hills of India and Myanmar. Both the genus and species were first described by William Warren, the genus in 1895 and the species in 1893.
Ischalis is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1863. All species are endemic to New Zealand.
Lipomelia is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae. It contains only one species, Lipomelia subusta, which is found in India and Taiwan. Both the genus and species were first described by William Warren in 1893.
Oenochlora is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae. Its sole species is Oenochlora imperialis, which is known from Australia. Both the genus and species were first described by Warren in 1896.
Parectropis is a genus in the geometer moth family (Geometridae). A small Old World genus, it contains only a good dozen species altogether, though new ones are still being discovered. Only one species is found in Europe; most others live in Asia though some occur in Africa.
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.
Piercia is a genus in the geometer moth family (Geometridae). It belongs to subfamily Larentiinae, but therein its relationships are fairly obscure. About 10 species occur in southern and eastern Asia, but most – almost 50 as of 2005 – are found in Africa.
Rhodesia is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae described by William Warren in 1905.
Xenozancla is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae. Its only species, Xenozancla versicolor, is found in northern India. Both the genus and species were first described by William Warren in 1893.
Xylinophylla is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae first described by Warren in 1898.
Zalissolepis is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae described by Warren in 1895. Its only species, Zalissolepis subviolaria, was first described by Achille Guenée in 1857. It is found in French Guiana.
