          Abstract

          ABSTRACT The Geometridae are the second most diverse family of Lepidoptera. Seven subfamilies of geometrid moths have been recognized worldwide, and five of those have been recorded in Chile. The highest species richness of Chilean Geometrids is concentrated in Ennominae and Larentiinae, subfamilies that will be treated in subsequent volumes of this catalogue. The earlier catalogue of the Chilean geometrid moths was published by Angulo & Casanueva (1981), who listed species with no more records that type locality and some flight periods. Since then, much of the taxonomic knowledge has changed, resulting in new combinations and descriptions of numerous new species, as well as establishing new species records for Chile. For each species, we include BIN number (if available), synonymy, biological data, host, references, known geographical distribution, flight period and reference photographs of species. In order to obtain both old and new data, we used specimens from different national and international scientific collections. The result was a review of 13 geometrid moths, which represent the three less known subfamilies of this group in Chile: Archiearinae, Geometrinae and Sterrhinae.

          RESUMEN Los Geometridae son la segunda familia más diversa de Lepidoptera. Siete subfamilias de geométridos han sido reconocidas en todo el mundo, y cinco de ellas han sido registradas en Chile. La mayor riqueza de especies de geométridos chilenos se concentra en Ennominae y Larentiinae, subfamilias que se tratarán en volúmenes posteriores de este catálogo. El anterior catálogo de geométridos chilenos fue publicado por Angulo & Casanueva (1981), quienes enumeraron las especies con no más registros que la localidad tipo y algunos períodos de vuelo. Desde entonces, gran parte del conocimiento taxonómico ha cambiado, dando como resultado nuevas combinaciones y descripciones de numerosas especies nuevas, así como el establecimiento de nuevos registros de especies para Chile. Para cada especie, incluimos el número de BIN (si está disponible), la sinonimia, los datos biológicos, hospederos, referencias bibliográficas, distribución geográfica conocida, período de vuelo y fotografías de referencia de las especies. Con el fin de obtener datos antiguos y nuevos, utilizamos muestras de diferentes colecciones científicas nacionales e internacionales. El resultado fue una revisión de 13 geométridos, los que representan las tres subfamilias menos conocidas de este grupo en Chile: Archiearinae, Geometrinae y Sterrhinae.

            Caterpillars and Host Plant Records for 59 Species of Geometridae (Lepidoptera) from a Montane Rainforest in Southern Ecuador

            During four months of field surveys at the Reserva Biológica San Francisco in the south Ecuadorian Andes, caterpillars of 59 Geometridae species were collected in a montane rainforest between 1800 and 2800m altitude and reared to adults. The resulting data on host plant affiliations of these species was collated. The preimaginal stages of 58 and adult stages of all 59 species are depicted in colour plates. Observations on morphology and behaviour are briefly described. Five species, documented for the first time in the study area by means of larval collections, had not been previously collected by intensive light-trap surveys. Together with published literature records, life-history data covers 8.6% of the 1271 geometrid species observed so far in the study area. For 50 species these are the first records of their early stages, and for another 7 the data significantly extend known host plant ranges. Most larvae were collected on shrubs or trees, but more unusual host plant affiliations, such as ferns (6 geometrid species) and lichens (3 geometrid species), were also recorded. Thirty-four percent of the caterpillars were infested by wasp or tachinid parasitoids.
