Checklist of the Geometridae of European Turkey, with new records (Lepidoptera)

A checklist with synonyms, distributions, larval foodplants, and parasitoid data for the European Turkish geometrid moths is presented. The checklist includes both published and previously unpublished faunistic information. In total, 200 species are reported for the region. Seventeen new species are tabulated for the fauna of European Turkey: Charissa ambiguata ( Duponchel, 1830); Eumannia oppositaria Mann, 1864; Neognopharmia stevenaria Boisduval, 1849; Alsophila aceraria ( Denis & Schiffermuller, 1775); A. aescularia ( Denis & Schiffermuller, 1775); Thetidia smaragdaria ( Fabricius, 1787); Cleta filacearia ( Herrich-Schaffer, 1847); Idaea circuitaria ( Hubner, 1819); Costaconvexa polygrammata ( Borkhausen, 1794); Eupithecia extremata ( Fabricius, 1787); E. insigniata ( Hubner, 1790); E. silenicolata Mabille, 1867; E. subfuscata ( Haworth, 1809); E. venosata ( Fabricius, 1787); Orthonama vittata ( Borkhausen, 1794); Rheumaptera cervinalis Scopoli, 1763; and Scotopteryx luridata ( Hufnagel, 1767). Three species are new for the geometrid fauna of Turkey: Idaea muricata ( Hufnagel, 1767); Scopula floslactata ( Haworth, 1809) and Pasiphila chloerata ( Mabille, 1870). Erroneous data for Rhodostrophia calabra ( Petagna, 1786); Timandra griseata ( W. Petersen, 1902), Pasiphila debiliata ( Hubner, 1817), and Nychiodes dalmatina Wagner, 1909, given by Okyar & Akta ( 1999) are corrected respectively under the entries for R. discopunctata ( Amsel, 1935), T. comae ( Schmidt, 1931), P. chloreata ( Mabille, 1870), N. waltheri Wagner, 1919.
