Herbita

Herbita is a Neotropical genus of moths in the family Geometridae, erected in 1860 by Francis Walker. 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. 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. Species occur from Mexico south to Brazil, Chile and Argentina.
