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.
Cernia is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae. Its only species, Cernia amyclaria, is found in Australia. Both the genus and species were described by Francis Walker in 1860.
Cosmorhoe is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae erected by Jacob Hübner in 1825. Its only species, Cosmorhoe ocellata, the purple bar, was described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae.

Its only species, Melanodes anthracitaria, the black geometrid, is found in Australia, more specifically in southern Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, and Tasmania. The genus and species were described by Achille Guenée in 1857.
Nepheloleuca, is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1883. The genus includes twelve species, similar in appearance, yet different in ground color and with minor variations in markings. Nepheloleuca species occur on the Caribbean islands of Haiti, Cuba and Jamaica, but also on mainland South America.
Niceteria is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae erected by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1929. Its only species, Niceteria macrocosma, the showy geometrid, is found in Australia. It was first described by Oswald Bertram Lower in 1899.
Paraboarmia is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae erected by F. Krampl in 1994. Its only species, Paraboarmia viertlii, the Bohatsch's lined, first described by Otto Bohatsch in 1883, is found in Europe.
