Abstract
ABSTRACT The Geometridae is the second most diverse Lepidoptera family in Europe but its diversity has not been studied evenly across the continent. In this paper, we present the first tentative checklist of Geometridae from Kosovo, which is based on the results from our survey conducted in the period March-October 2020 and the existing literature. During our survey we recorded 89 Geometrid species, among them, 13 have been recorded for the first time in Kosovo. Along with the literature records, the tentative Checklist of Geometridae from Kosovo contains 247 species or about 24% of species of this family present in Europe. We consider that this number does not represent the final number of Geometridae species but is just a baseline for further studies of this moth family in Kosovo.
期刊介绍：
Oriental Insects is an international, peer-reviewed journal devoted to the publication of original research articles and reviews on the taxonomy, ecology, biodiversity and evolution of insects and other land arthropods of the Old World and Australia. Manuscripts referring to Africa, Australia and Oceania are highly welcomed. Research papers covering the study of behaviour, conservation, forensic and medical entomology, urban entomology and pest control are encouraged, provided that the research has relevance to Old World or Australian entomofauna. Precedence will be given to more general manuscripts (e.g. revisions of higher taxa, papers with combined methodologies or referring to larger geographic units). Descriptive manuscripts should refer to more than a single species and contain more general results or discussion (e.g. determination keys, biological or ecological data etc.). Laboratory works without zoogeographic or taxonomic reference to the scope of the journal will not be accepted.
