Taxonomy

Pasiphila was formerly treated as a synonym of Chloroclystis, as was Gymnodisca, which is now mostly treated as a subgenus of Pasiphila. Rhinoprora is sometimes treated as a synonym of subgenus Gymnodisca.

Furthermore, a number of species which were included in Pasiphila are now mostly placed in Pasiphilodes.
