Cyclophora is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. Many species are referred to as mochas in reference to their colouration, primarily in Europe.{{cite web |last=Kimber |first=Ian |url=https://www.ukmoths.org.uk/species/cyclophora-annularia |title=70.031 BF1676 The Mocha Cyclophora annularia (Fabricius, 1775) |website=UKMoths |access-date=29 September 2019}}

Taxonomy

Traditionally, species included in this genus were either placed in Cyclophora (mostly Holarctic species) and Anisodes (mostly tropical species). Research concluded that these species belong in the same genus. The type species of Anisodes was even found to have features that are used to define Cyclophora.{{cite web |last=Holloway |first=Jeremy Daniel |url=http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-10/cosymbiini/cosymbiini_3.php |title=Cyclophora Hübner |website=The Moths of Borneo |access-date=September 29, 2019}}

Description

Palpi hardly reaching beyond the frons. Antennae of male bipectinate (comb like on both sides) to two-thirds length. Forewings with vein 3 from before angle of cell and veins 7, 8 and 9 stalked from before upper angle. Vein 10 and 11 anastomosing (fusing) strongly with them to form the small areole. Hindwings with veins 3, 4 and 6, 7 from angles of cell. The typical section has the medial spur pair of hind tibia absent in male.{{cite book |last=Hampson |first=G.
