Pasiphila is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. As of 2005 about 36 species were known, and of these, some 27 are native to New Zealand. [2] [3]
Pasiphila was formerly treated as a synonym of Chloroclystis, as was Gymnodisca, which is now mostly treated as a subgenus of Pasiphila. Rhinoprora is sometimes treated as a synonym of subgenus Gymnodisca.
Furthermore, a number of species which were included in Pasiphila are now mostly placed in Pasiphilodes.
