Two new species of the hyperdiverse geometrid moth genus (Lepidoptera, Geometridae, Larentiinae) from Ecuador, with descriptions of early stages.

The hyperdiverse geometrid genus Hübner, estimated to encompass more than 1,000 species, is among the most species-rich genera in all of Lepidoptera. While the genus has attracted considerable attention from ecologists and evolutionary biologists in recent decades, limited progress has been made on its alpha taxonomy. This contribution focuses on the Olivacea clade, whose monophyly has been recognized previously through molecular analyses. We attempt to define the clade from a morphological perspective and recognize the following species based on morphology and genomic data: (Felder & Rogenhofer); Doan, ; (Dognin), ; (Fletcher, 1952), ; (Dognin), ; and Doan, Descriptions and illustrations of the immature stages of reared from (Piperaceae) in Ecuador are provided.
