Asaphodes is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by Edward Meyrick in 1885.

[7][3] Dugdale stated that the species within this genus are distinguished from other genera by their possession of a rudimentary calcar (often a pair of contiguous hairy knobs), of a smooth, unscobinate saccular appendage, a deflexed, strongly sclerotised, sharp aedeagus apex in the ♂, and in the ♀ by the ductus bursae being not longer than wide, and containing the internally prolonged and fused ostiolar lamellae.

[7]The type species of this genus is Asaphodes abrogata, by original monotypy.

[7] Meyrick described this genus as follows: Face with tuft or hardly projecting scales.

[6]This genus is endemic to New Zealand and species within this genus are found throughout New Zealand including in the North, South and Stewart Island / Rakiura Islands.
