Subfamily Geometrinae

This large subfamily has most of its representation in the tropics and sub­tropics. Australian species are divided into two groups the stout­bodied greys and the slenderbodied greens. The grey geometrine fauna is concentrated in Australia with a large number of endemic species. The greens are more ubiquitous, nevertheless with many endemic species. There are sixty­two listed Australian genera and one hundred and eighty­eight species ( McQuillan and Edwards 1996).
