Subfamily Geometrinae

Chloropteryx glauciptera (Hampson, 1895)

Identified by comparison with the type (NHMUK, ♂ St Vincent) and NHMUK series.

Charlotteville, at light: ♀ 14–18 Jun 1999 (Roger Hammond) [MJWC]

Dichorda uniformis Warren, 1909

Tachyphyle (Dichorda) iris (Butler) : Longstaff (1912) [presumed misidentification]

I have not found Longstaff’s specimen in OUNHM, but there is no reason to suggest he did not capture a species of Dichorda . However, as D. uniformis , the only species of the genus known from Trinidad, was described from Trinidad in 1909, after Longstaff’s visit to Tobago in 1907, it seems a reasonable assumption that this is the species that Longstaff caught.

Nemoria pacificaria (Möschler, 1881)

Identified by comparison with the NHMUK series.

Speyside , at light: ♀ 14–17 May 1982 (M.J.W. Cock) [ MJWC] ; Tobago: ♀ (E. Bourke) [ OUNHM]

Nemoria punctilinea (Dognin, 1902)

Trinidad material identified by comparison with the type (USNM, ♂ French Guiana), USNM and NHMUK series. Although I am not entirely confident of this match, the Tobago specimen matches material from Trinidad which is accepted as N. punctilinea by Pitkin (1993).

Englishman’s Bay, at light: ♂ Jun–Dec 2009 (J. Ingraham) [UWIZM.2015.15.130]
