Abstract

Presented, with comments, are 131 plates of illustrations of geometrid eggs representing five subfamilies of the Geometridae: one species of Oenochrominae, 72 species of Ennominae, four species of Geometrinae, nine species of Sterrhinae, and 45 species of Larentiinae. The illustrations are useful as identification aids, in demonstrating relationships between species, and in assessing the validity of species groupings based on taxonomic criteria from other life stages.
