Document:
The starting point of the "Forum Herbulot list of family group names of Geometridae" are the outstanding publications on the "Moths of Borneo" (Holloway 1994; 1996; 1997). The aim is to present all published names of the family group in Geometridae and to put them into a systematic order (without incorrect subsequent spellings). For this purpose a preliminary list has been discussed by the scientific board of the Forum Herbulot research initiative and is herewith presented on the homepage. The proposed systematic order and synonymous concepts need, of course, refinement and improvement by continuous discussion. The comittee thanks for personal contributions of Dr. E. Beljaev and Dr. A. Vives Moreno. Further proposals are highly welcome and may be addressed to the comittee. Systematic order and tribal concepts are main discussion focus at the Forum Herbulot congresses.
Available names in bold. Numbers of subordinated family group names in each head line of subfamilies.
Declared as correct name in Opinion 450.
