uomia

Uomia is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. The genus was erected by William Warren in 1897. The moths are found in the Oriental region.

Members of the genus Uomia typically have a wingspan ranging from 20 to 30 millimeters. Their forewings are often a dull brown or gray color, sometimes with darker markings or wavy lines. The hindwings are usually lighter than the forewings. The larvae of Uomia moths are thought to feed on various plant species, although specific host plants are not always well-documented for every species within the genus.

The genus Uomia contains several described species, including Uomia aemula, Uomia iridopa, and Uomia nigrimacula. These species can be distinguished by subtle differences in wing patterns, coloration, and genitalia. Research on Uomia moths primarily focuses on their taxonomy and distribution. Due to their relatively small size and nocturnal habits, detailed ecological studies are less common. Conservation status information is generally not available for most species in this genus.
