Sterrhinae
– wave moths
Small moths (
20–30 mm
wingspan) with wings usually pale yellow, tan, or brown, and variously marked with diffuse dark bands and scattered dark scales. A few species have pastel shades. Th ey can be separated from other geometrids by wing venation: on the hindwing, the Sc and R
1
veins are fused with the Rs vein for less than one-quarter the length of the discal cell. Larvae of most species feed on trees or shrubs.
Approximately 2800 species of
Sterrhinae
are known worldwide. Ninety-six species of
Sterrhinae
are known in North America; 16 occur in AB. Th e Canadian species were revised by McGuffi n (1967), and the genus
Scopula
was treated again by
Covell (1970)
.
Sihvonen and Kaila (2004)
and
Sihvonen (2005)
presented a global phylogeny of the subfamily.
