Summary

This is the fourth 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 subfamilies of the Geometridae and a synopsis of the characters of the Ennominae. Keys to the four 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 41 species is shown on 23 maps.A section on the collecting and rearing of Geometridae has been added to the introductory part of this manual to encourage amateurs and young professionals to collect and rear Geometridae. The writer has enjoyed this part of the work more than any other and would like to see others share in the fun.

Résumé

C'est le quatrième d'une série de manuels destinés à faciliter l'identification des Geometridae du Canada. L'introduction présente des caractères clés d'identification des stades adulte, larve et pupe. Une clef des sous-familles des Geometridae et un synopsis des caractères des Ennominae suivent une description générale de chaque stade de développement. Les clefs des quatre parties des Ennominae (parfois subdivisés en tribus) dont il est question dans cette série de manuels sont complétées par des descriptions textuelles, croquis et photos couleurs. La distribution d'un bon nombre des 41 espèces figure sur 23 cartes.

On a ajouté à l'introduction une section sur la collecte et l'élevage des Geometridae à titre documentaire pour les amateurs et les jeunes professionnels.
