Pityeja Explained

Pityeja is a Neotropical moth genus in the family Geometridae erected by Francis Walker in 1861.^[1]

Pityeja have relatively conspicuous wing patterns, which probably led to overestimation of their species richness in the past.

Species

• Pityeja histrionaria (Herrich-Schäffer, 1853)
• Pityeja nazada (Druce, 1892)
