Triphosa
Triphosa is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae, subfamily Larentiinae, established by Stephens in 1829. The genus occurs across the Holarctic region, with species documented in Europe, Asia, and North America. Several species, notably Triphosa dubitata and T. sabaudiata, exhibit obligate cave-dwelling behavior as adults, a distinctive ecological trait within the Geometridae. The genus has been subject to recent taxonomic revision in the Western Palaearctic, resulting in synonymies and description of new species.
