Homodotis is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by Edward Meyrick in 1885. All the species in this genus are endemic to New Zealand.
== 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. The type species is Eurydice cymosema (now known as H. falcata) by monotypy.
