Colobochyla is a genus of moths of the family Erebidae.
Taxonomy

The genus has previously been classified in the subfamily Phytometrinae of Erebidae or the subfamily Calpinae of the family Noctuidae.[1] The genus is tentatively classified in the Hypeninae but needs further phylogenetic analysis to determine its proper subfamily placement.[2]
