Macariini
The Macariini are a tribe of geometer moths in the subfamily Ennominae. Though they share many traits with the Sterrhinae, this is probably plesiomorphic rather than indicative of a close relationship, and DNA sequence data points to the Boarmiini as particularly close relatives of the Macariini. All things considered, this tribe might still resemble the first Ennominae more than any other living lineage in the subfamily.Young (2008) Selected genera and species As numerous ennominae genera have not yet been assigned to a tribe,See references in Savela (2008) the genus list should be considered preliminary. * '' Acanthovalva'' * '' Aporhoptrina'' * '' Chiasmia'' * '' Digrammia'' * '' Dissomorphia'' * '' Elpiste'' * '' Epelis'' * '' Eumacaria'' * '' Fernaldella'' * '' Gnopharmia'' * '' Godonela'' * '' Heliomata'' - might belong in Abraxini (Cassymini if distinct) * '' Heterocallia'' * '' Hypephyra'' * '' Isturgia'' ** Frosted yellow, ''Isturgia limbaria'' * '' Itame'' * '' Letis ...

Semiothisa Emersaria
''Chiasmia emersaria'' is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species was first described by Francis Walker in 1861. It is found in India, Nepal, northern Thailand, China, Sri Lanka, Japan and the Ryukyu Islands The , also known as the or the , are a chain of Japanese islands that stretch southwest from Kyushu to Geography of Taiwan, Taiwan: the Ryukyu Islands are divided into the Satsunan Islands (Ōsumi Islands, Ōsumi, Tokara Islands, Tokara and A .... Description The wingspan is about 32 mm in the male and 40 mm in the female. Outer margin of forewing prominently angled at vein 4. Hind tibia of male dilated. Body grey irrorated (sprinkled) with pale and dark brown. Abdomen with dark spots on dorsum. Forewings with subbasal dark speck. Indistinct oblique antemedial, medial, and postmedial lines angled below costa and arising from rufous patches or short bands on costa. There is a dark speck found at the end of the cell.

Boarmiini
The Boarmiini (also often called ''Cleorini'') are a large tribe (biology), tribe of geometer moths in the Ennominae subfamily. Description and systematics This family is sometimes massively expanded, with the closely related Bistonini, Bupalini, Erannini, Gnophini, Melanolophini, Phaseliini and Theriini all merged into it. The eggs of all these geometer moths have the chorion cells characteristically arranged in longitudinal rows. The eggs of the Boarmiini in the narrow sense usually have a typical slender and narrow shape, with a soft chorion consisting of heavy-walled but unridged polygonal cells. However, in ''Cleora'' for example, the eggs approach the wide-walled shape found in many Bistonini. Adding further to the uncertainty is the fact that the Alsophilinae, usually treated as a small subfamily in their own right, might be a specialized lineage of Boarmiini; though their caterpillars are quite different, their pupae have a peculiar T-shaped Chrysalis#Chrysalis, cremaster ...

Frosted Yellow
''Isturgia limbaria'', the frosted yellow, is a moth of the family Geometridae. Distribution This species can be found in parts of Central and Southern Europe. It is extinct in Britain. Habitat These moths inhabit heathers, edge of the forests and scrubby areas. Description ''Isturgia limbaria'' has a wingspan of . Forewings can reach a length of . The male has feathered antennae, while those of the females are filiform. The upperside of the wings is yellow or orange yellow with a chocolate brown margin, less evident in the females. The underside of the hindwings is pale yellowish or greyish and strongly mottled, with visible longitudinal white stripes. Biology These day-flying moths fly from mid April to mid August in one or two generation. The larvae feed on Cytisus scoparius, broom. They over-winter as a pupa. #''The flight season refers to The Netherlands and Belgium. This may vary in other parts of the range.'' References External links *Paolo Mazzei, Daniel Morel, ...
