Triodissa

Triodissa is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. The genus was first described by Francis Walker in 1862. Triodissa moths are found in the Oriental region, with most species described from India and Sri Lanka. The larvae of Triodissa species are leaf-feeders, typically on plants of the family Sapindaceae. Adult moths are generally medium-sized, with wingspans ranging from 2 to 4 centimeters. Their coloration is often cryptic, providing camouflage against tree bark or foliage.

Species within the genus Triodissa exhibit variations in wing patterns and larval morphology. For example, Triodissa croceata is known for its yellowish-brown wings, while Triodissa costimaculata features distinct white spots along the forewing costa. Research on Triodissa is ongoing, with entomologists continuing to describe new species and study their ecological roles. The genus is considered part of the broader subfamily Ennominae, a diverse group of geometrid moths. Further studies are needed to fully understand the distribution, life cycles, and conservation status of various Triodissa species.
