Gnophos

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.

This is the type genus of the tribe Gnophini in subfamily Ennominae, which some authors include in the Boarmiini.
