The genus Neotherina Dognin (Geometridae, Ennominae) in Costa Rica

Abstract

So far, two spcies of Neotherina Dognin have been recorded in Costa Rica. N. imperilla (Dognin) occurs primarily at altitudes between 1100 and 1700 meters and N. callas (Druce) which is widely distributed above 1100 meters. A third, new species, N. xanthosa Sullivan and Chacón is described from altitudes above 2400 meters. Heterogeneity of the genus is discussed. © J. Bolling Sullivan, Isidro Chacón.
