Phyllodonta
Phyllodonta is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae, subfamily Ennominae, established by Warren in 1894. The genus contains approximately 30 described species distributed primarily in the Neotropical region, with some taxa extending into the Nearctic. Several species form cryptic complexes that are superficially indistinguishable based on adult external morphology but can be differentiated by genitalia, larval characteristics, host plant associations, and DNA barcodes. The genus has been subject to recent taxonomic revision, particularly for the latrata species group in Costa Rica.
