Synchlora is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by Achille Guenée in 1857.[2] Adult Synchlora members often have leaf green wings, while larvae occasionally have the property of adorning themselves with pieces of plants in the pursuit of camouflage. The name of the genus comes from Greek, with "syn-" meaning "with", and "chlor" meaning "green".[3]
