Description
Species of this genus have an aposematic color pattern. They are involved in an extensive mimicry complex with other moths of the tribe Cyllopodini and other Geometridae. These day-flying moths are usually very bright with black bands on a yellow or white background.[2]
Distribution
This genus is present in the Neotropical ecozone, mainly in South America with a few species in Central America and Trinidad and Tobago.
