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 Philog̬ne 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 Рfor example at least one areola in the forewing, a hammer-shaped ansa of the tympanal organ and the lack of a gnathos Рwith the Sterrhinae whic ...

Geometer Moth
The geometer moths are moths belonging to the family (biology), family Geometridae of the insect order (biology), order Lepidoptera, the moths and butterflies. Their scientific name derives from the Ancient Greek ''geo'' γεω (derivative form of or "the earth"), and ''metron'' "measure" in reference to the way their larvae, or inchworms, appear to measure the earth as they move along in a looping fashion. A very large family, it has around 23,000 species of moths described, and over 1400 species from six subfamilies indigenous to North America alone. A well-known member is the peppered moth, ''Biston betularia'', which has been subject of numerous studies in population genetics. Several other geometer moths are notorious pest (organism), pests. Adults Many geometrids have slender abdomen#Other animals, abdomens and broad wings which are usually held flat with the hindwings visible. As such, they appear rather butterfly-like, but in most respects they are typical moths; the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eupitheciini
Eupitheciini is a tribe of geometer moths under subfamily Larentiinae, often referred to as pugs. The tribe was described by Tutt in 1896. Diversity The tribe consists of about 47 genera, 15 of which are monotypic.

Asthenini
Asthenini is a tribe of geometer moths under subfamily Larentiinae first described by Warren in 1893. The tribe has been combined with Eupitheciini in the past, most notably by Jeremy Daniel Holloway in his work The Moths of Borneo. Distribution The tribe is represented in all the major biogeographical regions, but is most diverse in eastern Asia and is poorly represented in the Afrotropics. It is also poorly represented in the Neotropics if the genus ''Eois'' is excluded. Diversity 227 species group taxa (species and subspecies) were included in the tribe in 2002. Later research re-included two genera, including the large genus '' Eois'' (about 250 species), more than doubling the number of species. Recognized genera and species Critical analysis by Dayong Xue and Malcolm J. Scoble indicated 18 genera that belong to the Asthenini with 1 additional, ungrouped species. The 18 genera recognized by this research are: * ''Agnibesa'' Moore 1888 * ''Anydrelia'' Prout 1938 * '' Asthe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
