Sterrhinae
Sterrhinae is a large subfamily of geometer moths (family Geometridae) with some 3,000 described species, with more than half belonging to the taxonomically difficult, very diverse genera, ''Idaea'' and ''Scopula'' (Hausmann, 2004; Sihvonen, 2005). 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 (Scoble ''et al''., 1995; Hausmann, 2001, 2004; Brehm & Fiedler, 2003). Characteristics Sterrhinae are called waves due to the numerous wavy fasciae on the fore- and hindwings. Compared to other Geometridae, the moths are often small in size (wing span <20 mm), but size variation is considerable (Sihvonen et al., 2020). The monophyly of Sterrhinae has been postulated based on three morphological synapomorphies: the presence of one or two areoles in the forewings, in the forewing the point of origin of vein M1 is either proximal or distal to the areole, and th ...

Lythriini
''Lythria'' is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by Jacob Hübner in 1823. It is the only genus of the monotypic tribe Lythriini described by Claude Herbulot in 1962. Systematics The genus ''Lythria'' consists of five species: * Tribe Lythriini Herbulot, 1962 ** Genus ''Lythria'' Jacob Hübner, Hübner, 1823 *** ''Lythria cruentaria'' (Hufnagel, 1767) *** ''Lythria plumularia'' (Freyer, 1831) *** ''Lythria purpuraria'' (Linnaeus, 1758) *** ''Lythria sanguinaria'' (Duponchel, 1842) *** ''Lythria venustata'' Staudinger, 1882 Phylogenics Within the Sterrhinae, the Lythriini are probably the sister group of the Rhodometrini, as diagrammed by the cladogram below:Õunap, Erki, Jaan Viidalepp, & Urmas Saarma.

Scopulini
Scopulini is a tribe of the geometer moth family (Geometridae), with about 900 species in seven genera. The tribe was described by Philogène Auguste Joseph Duponchel in 1845. Systematics Scopulini as a family name is an old synonym of the subfamily Sterrhinae (Meyrick, 1892). The tribe Scopulini is divided into seven genera, of which only ''Scopula'' and ''Problepsis'' have species in Europe. * Scopulini Duponchel, 1845 ** '' Dithalama'' Meyrick, 1888 (4 species in Australia and Tasmania) ** '' Isoplenodia'' Prout, 1932 (4 species in Africa) ** '' Lipomelia'' Warren, 1893 (1 species from India to Taiwan) ** '' Somatina'' Guenée, 1858 (44 species in Africa, East Asia and Australia) ** '' Zythos'' D.

Geometer Moth
The geometer moths are moths belonging to the family Geometridae of the insect order Lepidoptera, the moths and butterflies. Their scientific name derives from the Ancient Greek (derivative form of or "the earth"), and "measure" in reference to the way their larvae, or inchworms, appear to measure the earth as they move along in a looping fashion. Geometridae is a very large family, containing around 23,000 described species; over 1400 species from six subfamilies are indigenous to North America alone. A well-known member is the peppered moth, ''Biston betularia'', which has been the subject of numerous studies in population genetics. Several other geometer moths are notorious pests. Caterpillars The name "Geometridae" ultimately derives from Latin ' from Greek ("geometer", "earth-measurer"). This refers to the means of locomotion of the larvae or caterpillars, which lack the full complement of prolegs seen in other caterpillars, with only two or three pairs at the posteri ...

Larentiinae
Larentiinae is a subfamily of moths containing roughly 5,800 species that occur mostly in the temperate regions of the world. They are generally considered a subfamily of the geometer moth family (Geometridae) and are divided into a few large or good-sized tribes, and numerous very small or even monotypic ones which might not always be valid. Well-known members are the "pug moths" of the Eupitheciini and the "carpets", mainly of the Cidariini and Xanthorhoini. The subfamily was described by Philogène Auguste Joseph Duponchel in 1845. Systematics and description Morphological and DNA sequence data indicate that they are a very ancient lineage of geometer moths; they might even be distinct enough to warrant elevation to full family status in the superfamily Geometroidea. They share numerous plesiomorphic traits – for example at least one areola in the forewing, a hammer-shaped ansa of the tympanal organ and the lack of a gnathos – with the Sterrhinae which ar ...
