Cyllopoda is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
Species of this genus have an aposematic color pattern. They are involved in an extensive mimicry complex with other moths of the tribe Cyllopodini and other Geometridae. These day-flying moths are usually very bright with black bands on a yellow or white background. [2]
This genus is present in the Neotropical realm, mainly in South America with a few species in Central America and Trinidad and Tobago.
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 γῆ or γαῖα "the earth", 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. A very large family, it has around 23,000 species of moths described, and over 1400 species from six subfamilies indigenous to North America alone. A well-known member is the peppered moth, Biston betularia, which has been 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 10,350 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.
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.
Eupithecia tripunctaria, the white-spotted pug, is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species can be found from Europe to Korea and Japan and in North America.
Antepione is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae, the geometer moths. The genus was described by Packard in 1876. They occur in North and Central America.
Carptima is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae. Its only species, Carptima hydriomenata, is found in the US state of Arizona. Both the genus and species were first described by Pearsall in 1906.
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.
Eurhinosea is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae. Its only species, Eurhinosea flavaria, is found in western North America. The genus and species were both described by Packard in 1873.
Hemimorina is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae. Its only species, Hemimorina dissociata, is found in North America. Both the genus and species were first described by James Halliday McDunnough in 1941.
Holochroa is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae. Its only species, Holochroa dissociarius, is found in North America. The species was described by George Duryea Hulst in 1887 and he described the genus nine years later in 1896.
Iridopsis is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae first described by Warren in 1894.
Lophosis is a monotypic geometrid moth genus. Its only species, Lophosis labeculata, the stained lophosis moth, is found in North America. Both the genus and species were first described by George Duryea Hulst, the genus in 1896 and the species in 1887.
Plataea is a genus of geometrid moths in the family Geometridae. There are about 11 described species in Plataea.
Snowia is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae. Its only species, Snowia montanaria, is known from North America. Both the genus and species were first described by Berthold Neumoegen in 1884. It is found in North America.
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.
Cyllopodini is a tribe of the geometer moth family (Geometridae), with about 68 species in 7 genera and 2 genera with 7 species tentatively associated with the tribe.
Glena quinquelinearia, the five-lined gray, is a species of geometrid moth in the family Geometridae. It was described by Alpheus Spring Packard in 1874 and is found in North America.
Metarranthis angularia, the angled metarranthis moth, is a species of moth in the family Geometridae. It was first described by William Barnes and James Halliday McDunnough in 1917 and it is found in North America.
