[LEPS-L:8020] Re: Help with Geometrid genus name

[Eric or Pat Metzler]

The most recent listing of Geometridae, *Geometrid Moths of the World, a
catalogue,* 1999, edited by Malcolm Scoble has an entry for Aspitates
Treitschke, 1825 and no entry for Apilates, however, Treitschke could have
described more than one genus with similar spellings.  If we know which
species you are working on that would help nail it down.

Hope this helps.

BTW, it was good to see you earlier this month.  Hope all is well.

Cheers,

Eric in Columbus OH
where it ain't so warm as it once was !!

used the former spelling, but all references I have seen subsequent to this,
including ones that cite Munroe's paper, use the latter. Can anyone clarify
this for me?
