denopos

Denopos is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. The genus was described by Charles Oberthür in 1916. Species within this genus are found in various parts of the world, often in tropical or subtropical regions.

The larvae of Denopos moths, like other geometrids, typically feed on the leaves of plants. The adult moths are characterized by their wingspan and wing patterns, which can vary significantly between species. These moths are generally nocturnal, becoming active at night.

Research on Denopos species focuses on their taxonomy, distribution, and ecological roles. Understanding their life cycles and host plant associations is important for ecological studies. The specific characteristics that distinguish Denopos from other geometrid genera include details of their wing venation, genitalia, and larval morphology. Further scientific investigation continues to refine the classification and understanding of this genus.
