The Geometrid Moths of Europe 2: Sterrhinae

In The Geometrid Moths of Europe volume 2 on Sterrhinae, a number of difficult genera such as Cyclophora, Scopula and Idaea are covered. The genus Idaea, with more than 100 species occuring in Europe, is particularly difficult to identify, however the many specimens illustrated on the colour plates, make identification of the species much easier now. The majority of the species of Idaea are illustrated 1.5 times their natural size. The remaining Sterrhinae are illutrated in natural size. Difficult species have their differential characters clearly indicated on additional black and white photos. Three new species and three new subspecies are described. Maps showing European distribution are provided. There are also line drawings of male and female genitalia of all species and a systematic catalogue of the European species and neighbouring regions such as North Africa, Macaronesia, Turkey, and the Middle East.
