Neotropical ennomine moths: A review of the genera (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)

Abstract

The classification of the Neotropical genera of the Ennominae is reviewed and 267 genera are recognised to occur in this region. Three new genera are described and three others are reinstated, while 48 generic synonyms are newly established. Other changes established in this work include 14 species synonyms and 237 new or reinstated combinations. External features and genitalia of representative members of the genera are illustrated (753 figures). All the known Neotropical species and subspecies of Ennominae are listed (c. 3470), plus their synonyms. The tribes to which the genera belong are assessed, with c. 200 of the genera assigned to tribe or other suprageneric grouping.
