Alias: Geometridae Full name: Online Taxonomic Facility of Geometridae Version / Issued: 1.1.23.353 (19 Dec 2023) / 2023-12-19 DOI - Description: Geometrid moths are the second-largest lepidopteran family (after Erebidae) in terms of described species. Rajaei et al. 2022 reported that the family Geometridae had 27,006 valid species-group names, including 23,872 species and 3,123 subspecies. These account for nearly 15% of all Lepidoptera species (Nieukerken et al. 2011). Each year about 80 new species are described, and the real species richness on the global scale is likely to be between 40,000 – 50,000 species (Rajaei et al. 2022).

These moths are known as inchworms or loopers, referring to the caterpillars that move by “measuring” the earth. This mode of movement is caused by the reduction of ventral prolegs in the abdomen, so that only two pairs are present at the end of the abdomen. Some species have also ventral prolegs available (e.g. several species in Ennominae, Diptychini). A further diagnostic feature of the family includes paired tympanal organs at the base of the abdomen on sternites 1-2, which bear a central rod called ansa (e.g. Cook & Scoble 1992, Minet & Scoble 1999). Externally geometrids, both adults and larvae, are very variable in size, pattern and color.

Species of this family are distributed globally, and they occur in all continents except Antarctica and in all terrestrial biotopes. The highest described species richness is in the Neotropics (South America) with 6,595 species, followed by the Oriental region (roughly South-East Asia) with 4,969 described species (see more detailed information in Rajaei et al. 2022). Geometrid moths have the highest species richness near the equator and the diversity decreases towards higher latitudes. As regards the altitude, subfamilies Ennominae, Sterrhinae, and Geometrinae significantly decrease, while the proportion of Larentiinae increases with increasing altitude (e.g. Brehm & Fiedler 2003).

Life histories of many geometrid species are rather poorly known and documented. According to the available information, the majority of caterpillars are external feeders on leaves, including deciduous and conifers trees, ferns, shrubs, and herbs while only a handful of species feed on grasses. Few lineages can survive in dry conditions including even desert oases, and some caterpillars can feed on withered, moldy, decaying, or dry leaves (Hausmann 2004). Of particular interest from the diet point of view are the Eupithecia (pug moths) in Hawaii. These endemic caterpillars are carnivorous feeding on other insects (Montgomery 1983).

@dhobern, Does the logo relate to the checklist? It says "Forum Herbulot", but "Forum Herbulot" is not mentioned either in the annotation or in relation to the creators and others. It's a logo of the Twitter channel. Would "Forum Herbulot" be identified as a publisher of this checklist?

_@dhobern, there are two entries for the species Chiasmia gueyei. One of them with misspelled author as "Sirloucomb, 2009" instead of "Sircoulomb, 2009", I guess._ https://www.checklistbank.org/dataset/185410/taxon/2833 https://www.checklistbank.org/dataset/185410/taxon/2832

_@dhobern, there are two pairs of duplicated genera, one of them with misspelled authorstring: Mesothisa Warben, 1905 (2 spp) and Mesothisa Warren, 1905 (19 spp) https://www.checklistbank.org/dataset/185410/taxon/13665 https://www.checklistbank.org/dataset/185410/taxon/13650

@dhobern, seems, "editorial decisions" are vanished with each new import (due to unstable name IDs? - not sure). Perhaps, you may fix few minor issues in the master data before the next import:

@yroskov The issues you mention above have been fixed. There are three names where the parser still gets upset, but these are "correct":

Argyrophora arcualis (Duncan [& Westwood], 1841) Epidesmia Duncan [& Westwood], 1841 Eumelea Duncan [& Westwood], 1841
