Rhodometra is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by Edward Meyrick in 1892.
These moths have bipectinated antennae for the males; apically simple. They have relatively narrow-elongated to relatively broad forewings and a wingspan of 20–30 mm. The forewings are pale yellow, sometimes rosy and traversed by an oblique red stripe, the hindwings are plain. [1]
Idaea, sometimes called Hyriogona, is a large genus of geometer moths. It was erected by Georg Friedrich Treitschke in 1825. They are found nearly worldwide, with many native to the Mediterranean, the African savannas, and the deserts of western Asia.
Earias is a genus of moths in the monotypic subfamily Eariadinae of the family Nolidae. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1825. Species are found throughout Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia, some being agricultural pests such as bollworms.
Udea is a genus of snout moths in the subfamily Spilomelinae of the family Crambidae. The genus was erected by Achille Guenée in 1845. The currently known 216 species are present on all continents except Antarctica. About 41 species are native to Hawaii.
Aplogompha is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
Chiasmia is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. It was described by Jacob Hübner in 1823.
Cyclophora is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. Many species are referred to as mochas in reference to their colouration, primarily in Europe.
Elophos is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
Heterorachis is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae described by Warren in 1898.
Horisme is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. The genus was described by Jacob Hübner in 1825.
Lobocleta is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by Warren in 1906.
Opisthoxia is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
Problepsis is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
Sabulodes is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae first described by Achille Guenée in 1857.
Scopula is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae described by Franz von Paula Schrank in 1802.
Semiothisa is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. It was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1818.
Thetidia is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
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.
Sterrhini is a tribe of the geometer moth family (Geometridae), with about 825 species in 19 genera. There are also 6 genera with 36 species tentatively associated with the tribe. The tribe was erected by Edward Meyrick in 1892.
