The Geometroidea are the
superfamily of geometrid
moths in the order
Lepidoptera. It includes the families
Geometridae,
Uraniidae,
Epicopeiidae,
Sematuridae, and
Pseudobistonidae.[1] The Geometroidea superfamily has more than 24,000 described species, making them one of the largest superfamilies inside the order Lepidoptera.[2] The monotypic genus Apoprogones was considered a separate geometroid family of the Apoprogonidae by a minority, but is now subsumed under the Sematuridae.
