A revision of the moth genus Plataea (Lepidoptera, Geometridae). American Museum novitates ; no. 2595

Abstract

"The genus Plataea is revised for the first time. The 13 available names represent six species: calcaria (Pearsall), personaria (H. Edwards), ursaria Cassino and Swett, californiaria Herrich-Schäffer, diva Hulst, and trilinearia (Packard). Two new species are described: pausaniasi from Coahuila, Mexico, and aristidesi from México, Mexico. All species are fully described; keys and photographs are given for the adults and their genitalia. Taxonomic problems within the genus are discussed; sexual and seasonal dimorphism occur in certain species"--P. [1].
