Nychiodes is a palearctic genus of moths in the family Geometridae described by Julius Lederer in 1853. , the genus comprises 27 species with a geographical distribution across Europe, northern Africa and parts of West, Central and South Asia.
Species are typically large, with beige, grey or brown wings, and have slightly darkened wing tips, medium-sized discal spots on fore- and hindwings, and post- and antemedial lines on the forewings. Genital examination is generally necessary to determine exact species as a result of significant morphological variability.
