Corrections and Additions to the work entitled "Geometrid Moths of the World", edited by M. J. Scoble (Lepidoptera) - V. Centr. ent. Stud., Misc. Pap. 136: 1-2.
This paper deals with the corrections of the work entitled "Geometrid Moths of the World". Totally 11 scientific errors have been corrected. Phalaena amabilis Cramer,1777 is invalid, as it is junior primary homonym of Phalaena amabilis Drury,1773 [Noctuidae] (syn.n.); therefore, Opisthoxia amabilaria Hubner,[1825] is proposed as valid (sp.rev.). Polymixinia lidjangina ssp. muhabbet Kocak is proposed as replacement name (nom.nov.). Preliminary checklist of Loxostege Hbn., with some taxonomical and geographical notes (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae). Centr. ent. Stud., Misc. Pap. 136: 2-8, 3Tab.
