Testaris

Testaris is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. The genus was described by William Warren in 1894. Species within the genus Testaris are typically found in tropical and subtropical regions. Further research is ongoing to fully understand the distribution and ecological roles of these moths.

The larvae of Testaris moths are thought to feed on various plant species, though specific host plants are not extensively documented for all members of the genus. Adult moths are characterized by their wing patterns and coloration, which can vary significantly between species. These variations are often adaptations for camouflage or mate recognition.

The taxonomy of the genus Testaris is subject to ongoing scientific study, with new species sometimes being identified or existing classifications being revised based on genetic and morphological evidence. Entomologists continue to explore the biodiversity of this genus to contribute to our knowledge of Lepidoptera.
