Staudinger divides the family into the following subfamilies:--

Geometrinae (= Geometridae, Meyrick).

Acidaliinae (= Sterrhidae, Meyrick).

Larentiinae (= Hydriomenidae, Meyrick).

Orthostixinae (not represented in Britain).

Boarmiinae (= Selidosemidae, Meyrick).

Except as regards the Larentiinae, I have largely adhered to Staudinger's

arrangement of genera in each of the above subfamilies.

The typical genus of Larentiinae would be _Larentia_, Treit, to which

something over two hundred species are referred by Staudinger, among which

are upwards of sixty that occur in the British Isles. Following some of the

later generic changes, I find that none of our species are left in

_Larentia_, but a few fall into _Hydriomena_, Hubner, and therefore

Hydriomeninae has been adopted for this subfamily. {101}
