Beauveria sinensis sp. nov. was isolated from a larva of Geometridae (Lepidoptera) collected from Tiantangzhai, Anhui province, China. It is characterized by elongated ellipsoidal to cylindrical conidia, solitary conidiogenous cells that are cylindrical or with slightly swollen bases, white to pale pink colony in culture, and small mycelial pellets consisting of curved hyphae. Phylogenetic anal...

ABSTRACT Geometridae is one of the most diverse Lepidoptera families; however, little information about species found, even regarding their distribution and basic biology, which are in general restricted to type locality. Lists host plants not found for Semiarid region Northeast Brazil. The present note reports occurrence caterpillars Numia terebintharia Guenée consuming leaves evergreen trees ...

This study was conducted on the Geometridae fauna of Hasankeyf district Batman between 2018 and 2020. 27 different localities were visited 2.870 specimens in total collected using insect net UV light traps mostly nighttimes, since majority species are nocturnal. The taxonomic investigations revealed presence 66 within 39 genera 5 subfamilies (Desmobathrinae, Geometrinae, Ennominae, Larentiinae,...

In this study we report on the sequencing of the COI barcode region from 96 historical specimens (92 type specimens +4 non-types) of Eois. Eois is a diverse clade of tropical geometrid moths and is the target of a number of ongoing studies on life-histories, phylogeny, co-evolution with host plants or parasitoids, and diversity patterns across temporal and spatial dimensions. The unequivocal ap...

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