Callioratis is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
The geometer moths are moths belonging to the family Geometridae of the insect order Lepidoptera, the moths and butterflies. Their scientific name derives from the Ancient Greek geo γεω, and metron μέτρον "measure" in reference to the way their larvae, or inchworms, appear to measure the earth as they move along in a looping fashion. Geometridae is a very large family, containing around 23,000 described species; over 1400 species from six subfamilies are indigenous to North America alone. A well-known member is the peppered moth, Biston betularia, which has been the subject of numerous studies in population genetics. Several other geometer moths are notorious pests.
The Tortricidae are a family of moths, commonly known as tortrix moths or leafroller moths, in the order Lepidoptera. This large family has over 11,000 species described, and is the sole member of the superfamily Tortricoidea, although the genus Heliocosma is sometimes placed within this superfamily. Many of these are economically important pests. Olethreutidae is a junior synonym. The typical resting posture is with the wings folded back, producing a rather rounded profile.
The latticed heath is a moth of the family Geometridae, belonging to the subfamily Ennominae, placed in the tribe Macariini. The genus was erected by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae.
Geometrinae is the nominate subfamily of the geometer moth family (Geometridae). It is strongly split, containing a considerable number of tribes of which most are presently very small or monotypic. These small moths are often a light bluish green, leading to the common name of emerald moths, though a few species called thus are also found in the tribe Campaeini of the Ennominae. In 2018, a phylogeny and classification based on a molecular phylogenetic analysis was published in the Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society in which 13 tribes were accepted.
The Cidariini are the largest tribe of geometer moths in the subfamily Larentiinae. The Cidariini include many of the species known as "carpets" or, ambiguously, "carpet moths", and are among the few geometer moths that have been subject to fairly comprehensive cladistic study of their phylogeny. The tribe was described by Philogène Auguste Joseph Duponchel in 1845.
Amphiclasta is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae. Its only species, Amphiclasta lygaea, is found in Australia. Both the genus and species were first described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1906.
Cyllopoda is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
Dithalama is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
Eois is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. The genus contains about 250 validly described species, most from the Neotropical region. Many species are still undescribed and the total number of species is estimated to be over a 1,000 in the Neotropical region alone. The genus was first described by Jacob Hübner in 1818.
Eschatarchia is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae. It contains only one species, Eschatarchia lineata, which is found in Japan, China, Taiwan and Myanmar. Both the genus and species were first described by Warren in 1894.
Gymnoscelis, the pugs, is a large genus of moths in the family Geometridae described by Paul Mabille in 1868.
Hesperumia is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. The genus was described by Packard in 1873.
Lythria is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by Jacob Hübner in 1823. It is the only genus of the monotypic tribe Lythriini described by Claude Herbulot in 1962.
Mallomus is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
Plataea is a genus of geometrid moths in the family Geometridae. There are about 11 described species in Plataea.
Gagitodes sagittata, the marsh carpet, is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species was first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1787. It is found in eastern Asia, including Japan, Korea and China and in central and northern Europe. It is sometimes included in the genus Perizoma
Sterrhinae is a large subfamily of geometer moths with some 3,000 described species, with more than half belonging to the taxonomically difficult, very diverse genera, Idaea and Scopula. This subfamily was described by Edward Meyrick in 1892. They are the most diverse in the tropics with the number of species decreasing with increasing latitude and elevation.
Louis Beethoven Prout (1864–1943) was an English entomologist and musicologist.
Letispe is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae described by Alexander Douglas Campbell Ferguson in 2008. Its one described species, Letispe metanemaria, described by George Duryea Hulst in 1887, is found in southwest North America in Arizona, California, Sonora and Baja California.
