Homodotis is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by Edward Meyrick in 1885.[3][4] All the species in this genus are endemic to New Zealand.[2]
Taxonomy
This genus was erected by Edward Meyrick in 1885 as a replacement name for Eurydice Meyrick as that name was preoccupied by the Crustacea genus Eurydice Leach, 1815.[1][5] The type species is Eurydice cymosema (now known as H. falcata) by monotypy.[4]

Species found in this genus include:[2]
- Homodotis amblyterma (Meyrick, 1931)
