Behandlar Sterrhinae. 24 färgplanscher.
The geographical area covered will be the whole of the geographical Europe. Each volume will illustrate the adults of all species in photographical colour plates of the best quality. Sexual dimorphismas well as polymorphism will be illustrated and if possible all subspecies too. Most species will be shown in natural size, but larger groups of small species such as the genera Idaea and Eupitheciawill be shown enlarged. Each species will be treated using the following format: Full name. Originalreference to all available nominal names (valid names and synonyms).
Diagnosis based on external features, including detail figures where necessary. Male and female genitalia of all species with line drawings or photographs. Distribution. A summary of the European distribution and also of distribution outside the area treated. This paragraph is completed with a map of the European distribution. Phenology with detailed information about flight period or periods, ifpossible with reference to various parts of the distribution area. Further also information about how the species hibernates is provided. Biology including hostplant(s). Habitat including the altitudeof occurence. Similar species with the differences clearly pointed out. This paragraph may be completed with text figures. Remarks on information that does not fit into any of the other paragraphs.
The Geometrid Moths of Europe is intended for both professional and amateur entomologists. Among theEuropean Geometrid Moths are a number of serious pest species, especially to forestry, and the series will therefore also be an important tool in future pest management, hopefully especially in the biological pest management.
In The Geometrid Moths of Europevolume 2 on Sterrhinae, the third volume in the series to be published, a number of difficult genera such as Cyclophora, Scopulaand Idaeaare covered. Especially Idaeawith more than 100 species occuring in Europe, has caused a lot of problems to identify, but based onthe many specimens illustrated on the 24 colour plate, the species of this genus can be identified much easier now. Apart from its largest species, the genus Idaeais illustrated in 1.5 times natural size. The remaining Sterrhinae are in natural size on the colour plates. On additional black and white photos for species which are difficult to identify, their differential characters are pointed outwith arrows. Three new species and three new subspecies are described. As in the previously published volumes 1 and 4, a map with the European distribution is given, and with dots for verified specimens. Finally there are line drawings of male and female genitalia of all species and also this volumecontains a systematic catalogue of the European species and including those of the neighbouring regions such as North Africa, Macaronesia, Turkey, and the MiddleEast.
