I am currently compiling lists of the moth species from Hong Kong in
taxonomic placement within tribes for the Geometridae, basing this upon
volumes 10 (Sterrhinae & Larentiinae) and 11 (Ennominae) of the Moths of
Borneo (Holloway, 1997, 1993[4]). Between these volumes and various
others available to me in Hong Kong, I can place most genera that occur
in HK, but the following have defeated me and I would appreciate some
help with tribal placement and generic affiliation of the following
spp., please (all assistance will be acknowledged in any subsequent
publications and in my thesis):
Geometridae: Larentiinae:-
Asthenini
Chaetolopha Warren, 1899 (is this placed before or after Asthena
Hübner, [1825]?)
unplaced to tribe
Acolutha Warren, 1894
Loxofidonia Packard, 1876
Microcalcarifera Inoue, 1982
Orthonama Hübner, [1825]
Pseudeuchlora (author and date??)
Geometridae: Ennominae:-
unplaced to tribe
Anectropis (author and date??)
Antipercnia Inoue, 1992
Heteralex Warren, 1894
Menophora Moore, [1887]
Obeidia Walker, 1862
Pseudonadagara (author and date??)
Zethenia Motchulsky, [1861]
TIA,
Roger.
