Description

Antennae in male bipectinate, rami shorter towards end, the longest ramus about twice diameter of flagellum. Frons and vertex green. Labial palpus green, rough scaled. Hind tibia dilated and with hair-pencil. Thorax with dorsal side green and abdomen whitish green.

Wing pattern. Length of forewing „ 22–27 mm; ♀ 25 mm. Wings green with blue tinge. Outer margin of both wings curved, slightly scalloped on forewing, and deeply scalloped on hindwing. Hindwing with apex rounded. Forewing with antemedial line scalloped, white, with a narrow dark green outer edge, invisible near costa. Both fore- and hindwings with postmedial line (sometimes indistinct) dentate, white and indistinct on veins, edged with dark green on inner side; submarginal line composed of white patches between veins; discal spots dark green, dash-like, sometimes indistinct; fringe green basally and white terminally. Underside similar colour to upperside; white submarginal and dull green postmedial lines and discal spot visible, much paler.

Male genitalia ( Figures 2A View Figure 2 , 3A View Figure 3 ). Uncus reduced to a broad prominence. Socii developed, long, well-sclerotized, tapered but blunt. Gnathos sclerotized, with median process rod-like, tapered. Valva simple, lightly sclerotized and curved, apex blunt and rounded; sacculus present, appearing as a sclerotized depressed area at base near ventral margin, less than one-half valva in length. Transtilla a pair of slightly sclerotized large processes. Juxta an irregular sclerotized plate. Saccus extremely small. Coremata present. Aedeagus stout, posterior half scerotized, and tapered at tip but blunt.

Segment 8 ( Figure 5A View Figure 5 ) with tergite moderately protruding, sternite slightly sclerotized at middle, and shallowly concave.

Female genitalia ( Figure 4A View Figure 4 ). Apophyses anteriores and posteriores similar in length. Wrinkled area present on lamella vaginalis. Ductus bursae very short, sclerotized, with V-shaped antrum. Corpus bursae long and large, broader towards anteriorly; signum quadrate sclerite, with two tiny pointed teeth.

It should be noted that the date of publication of the name herbacearia is given as 1859 in Scoble (1999) and subsequent authors. In fact the 1859 paper (Ménétriès 1859) reprints the exact text of the 1858 reference given above, and the last page of the section of the 1858 work in which Ménétriès’ work was published indicates that it was issued on 26 August 1858. The date of publication of the name should therefore be changed to 1858. The same goes for Geometra glaucaria Ménétriès , dealt with below, which was published on the same page.
