description: Archiearinae Fletcher, 1953 The hypothesis presented in this study recovered Archiearinae as a monophyletic entity after some taxonomic rearrangements are performed. This subfamily was previously considered as sister to Geometrinae + Ennominae (<i>Abraham et al., 2001</i>), whereas <i>Yamamoto &amp; Sota (2007)</i> proposed them to be the sister-taxon to Orthostixinae + Desmobathrinae. Our findings agree with <i>Sihvonen et al. (2011)</i> who recovered Archiearinae as the sister-taxon to the rest of Geometridae excluding Sterrhinae and Larentiinae, although only one species was included in their study. <i>Archiearis</i> Hübner, (1823) is sister to <i>Boudinotiana</i> Esper, 1787 and these taxa in turn are sister to <i>Leucobrephos</i> Grote, 1874 (Fig. 4). The southern hemisphere Archiearinae require more attention. <i>Young (2006)</i> suggested that two Australian Archiearinae genera, <i>Dirce</i> and <i>Acalyphes</i>, actually belong to Ennominae. Our analyses clearly support this view and we therefore propose to formally transfer <i>Dirce</i> and <i>Acalyphes</i> to Ennominae (all formal taxonomic changes are provided in Table 2). Unfortunately, the South American Archiearinae genera <i>Archiearides</i> Fletcher, 1953 and <i>Lachnocephala</i> Fletcher, 1953, and Mexican <i>Caenosynteles</i> Dyar, 1912 (<i>Pitkin &amp; Jenkins, 2004</i>), could not be included in our analyses. These presumably diurnal taxa may only be superficially similar to northern hemisphere Archiearinae as was the case with Australian <i>Dirce</i> and <i>Acalyphes</i>.
