“…Of the latter two genera, Gypsochroa has subsequently been placed in either Orthostixinae (Viidalepp, ; Leraut, ) or Desmobathrinae (Hausmann, ). Odezia was placed in the tribe Odeziini by Vives Moreno () and Choi (), but subsequent authors (Viidalepp, ; Hausmann & Viidalepp, ; Rajaei & Stüning, ) have again placed it in Chesiadini.…”

Viidalepp's (2006) morphology-based cladistic analysis of Larentiinae recovered Chesiadini as the sister to Trichopterygini in a lineage that was sister to other larentiines, except the Xanthorhoini + Cataclysmini complex.…”

Larentiinae are the second largest subfamily of Geometridae, with more than 6200 described species. Despite recent advances in molecular systematics of geometrid moths, phylogenetic relationships between the numerous subgroups of Larentiinae are poorly known. In this study we present the most comprehensive attempt to date to resolve the phylogeny of Larentiinae, having sampled at least one species from all currently recognized 23 tribes. Fragments of one mitochondrial (COI) and eight nuclear (EF‐1α, WGL, GAPDH, RPS5, IDH, MDH, CAD and 28S) genes were sequenced, for a total of 6939 bp. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses resulted in identical well‐resolved phylogenetic trees, which had maximum or near‐maximum support values at most nodes. Almost all conventionally recognized tribes represented by more than one genus were found to be monophyletic. Close to the root of Larentiinae, six tribes branch off the main lineage one after another, with Dyspteridini being sister to all other members of the subfamily. The rest of larentiines are divided into two very diverse lineages, comprising eight and at least ten tribes, respectively. There were just three findings incongruent with the conventional tribal subdivision of the subfamily. First, the genera Collix Guenée and Anticollix Prout formed a separate, previously unrecognized but well‐supported clade at the tribe level. Second, the Palaearctic genus Pelurga Hübner was placed apart from Larentia Treitschke and Mesoleuca Hübner, which were the other members of Larentiini in this analysis. Third, Cataclysmini appeared together with genera belonging to Xanthorhoini, leaving the latter paraphyletic. The Neotropic genus Oligopleura Herrich‐Schäffer is shown to belong to the tribe Euphyiini (comb.n.) according to both molecular data and male genital morphology. The results and the tribal classification of Larentiinae are discussed with reference to the principal publications since the end of the 19th Century. We conclude that the current tribal classification of Larentiinae is not controversial from the phylogenetic point of view and that its increasing complexity has merely reflected the accumulation of information, mainly through different methods of biosystematic study having become available for researchers. Our results indicate that diurnal lifestyle, accompanied by conspicuous coloration, has evolved independently in several subgroups of Larentiinae.

Biodiversity hotspots have been in the mainstream of studies and debates regarding conservation and biodiversity. Results, however, are skewed towards vertebrates and the tropics, and cannot simply be generalized to invertebrates and temperate biodiversity hotspot regions. In this first study of its kind, we explored the spatial patterns of Larentiinae moth (except genus Eupithecia Curtis, 1825) species richness and beta diversity in two neighbouring temperate biodiversity hotspots, the Caucasus and the Irano-Anatolian biodiversity hotspots, Middle Palearctic. We explored how spatial gradients contribute to the formation of moth species richness in these two biodiversity hotspots by disentangling beta diversity patterns to spatial turnover and nestedness components. Larentiinae moths showed a positive association with latitude and a unimodal relationship with elevation. The latitudinal gradient contributed more than the elevational gradient in formation of biodiversity. Both hotspots showed similar patterns of beta diversity partitioning, demonstrating a large contribution of spatial turnover to biodiversity formation. Constant high values of spatial turnover across 17°of latitudinal gradient may indicate that diversity has been formed by a consistent mechanism of horizontal species level diversification of larentine moths throughout mountains.
