Protophyta is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1910.
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.
Aeolochroma is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae described by Prout in 1912.
Amelora is a genus of Lepidoptera moths in the family geometrid moths (geometridae) that reside in Australia. The Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) has identified four of its key attributes: bilateral symmetry, biting-chewing mouthparts acting as its feeding structure, having a holometabolous developmental mode, and being multicellular.
Epyaxa is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by Edward Meyrick in 1883.
Hypodoxa is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae described by Prout in 1912.
Lophothorax is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae. It consists of only one species, Lophothorax eremnopis, which is found in Australia. Both the genus and the species were first described by Alfred Jefferis Turner, the species in 1922 and the genus in 1939.
Somatina is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae first described by Achille Guenée in 1858.
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.
Eupitheciini is a tribe of geometer moths under subfamily Larentiinae, often referred to as pugs. The tribe was described by Tutt in 1896.
Louis Beethoven Prout (1864–1943) was an English entomologist and musicologist.
The Pseudoterpnini are a tribe of geometer moths in the subfamily Geometrinae. The tribe was described by Warren in 1893. It was alternatively treated as subtribe Pseudoterpniti by Jeremy Daniel Holloway in 1996.
Scopula adeptaria is a moth of the family Geometridae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1861. It is found in Sri Lanka, India, Taiwan, Hainan, southern Myanmar, Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo, the Philippines, Sumba and northern Australia.
Scopula coenona is a moth of the family Geometridae. It was described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1908. It is endemic to Australia.
Scopula loxosema is a moth of the family Geometridae. It was described by Turner in 1908. It is found in Australia (Victoria).
Hypodoxa calliglauca is a moth of the family Geometridae first described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1926. It is found in the Australian states of New South Wales and Queensland.
Hypodoxa paroptila is a moth of the family Geometridae first described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1906. It is found in Australia, including Queensland.
Aeolochroma pammiges is a moth of the family Geometridae first described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1941. It is found in Queensland, Australia.
Protophyta benigna is a moth of the family Geometridae first described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1939. It is found in Queensland, Australia.
Protophyta castanea is a moth of the family Geometridae first described by Oswald Bertram Lower in 1898. It is found in New South Wales, Australia.
Rhuma thiobapta is a moth of the family Geometridae first described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1936. It is found in Queensland, Australia.
