Summary

This is the third in a series of manuals designed to facilitate the recognition of the Geometridae of Canada. In the introductory section key characters are given for the identification of Geometridae in adult, larval, and pupal stages. A generalized description of each stage is followed by a key to the subfamilies of the Geometridae and a synopsis of the characters of the Ennominae. Keys to the five parts of the Ennominae (sometimes broken down into tribes) as they are to be treated in this series of manuals are supplemented by text descriptions, line drawings, and colour photographs. The distribution of many of the 45 species is shown on 29 maps. These maps and the studies of the writer suggest the potential value of collecting along some of the major Canadian waterways, such as the Saskatchewan River. This along with collecting in the short-grass prairie and its stream beds in Alberta and Saskatchewan and faunal investigations in the northern end of the Appalachian Mountains in Quebec and New Brunswick should add much to our distribution records.On the basis of adult, larval, and pupal characters a phylogenetic chart of the boarmid group has been constructed.

Résumé

L'auteur présente le troisième d'une série de manuels conçus pour faciliter l'identification des Géometridés du Canada. La section de l'introduction propose des caractères-clés pour identifier les Géometridés dans leurs phases adulte, larvaire ou nymphale. Une description générale de chaque phase est suivie d'une clé identifiant les sous-familles des Géometridés et d'un synopsis des caractères des Ennominés. Les clés décrivant les cinq groupes des Ennominés, parfois subdivisés en tribus, telles qu'elles seront traitées dans la présente serie de manuels, sont complétées par des textes descriptifs, des dessins à main levée et des photographies en couleurs. L'aire de distribution de plusieurs des 45 espèces est indiquée sur 29 cartes. Ces dernières, de même que les études de l'auteur, suggèrent la valeur potentielle de récoltes le long de certains des principaux cours d'eau canadiens, comme la rivière Saskatchewan. Cela ajouté aux récoltes provenant de la prairie à graminées de courte taille et de ses "lits de ruisseaux" en Alberta et en Saskatchewan, ainsi que des études (relevés) de la faune dans la partie nord des monts Appalaches au Québec et au Nouveau-Brunswick devraient constituer une importante addition à nos connaissances des aires de distribution.

En se fondant sur les caractères des phases adulte, larvaire et nymphale, on a constitue un tableau phylogénétique du groupe des Boarmides.
