Abstract

The Geometridae fauna of Sierra María-Los Vélez Natural Park (Almería, southeast Spain) includes 139 species belonging to the subfamilies Ennominae, Geometrinae, Sterrhinae y Larentiinae. The atlanto-mediterranean corotype is widely prevalent (56.8%), including 10 Iberian endemisms. Forty species are cited for the first time in Almeria province and a large number increase their scarce references in the southern half of the Iberian Peninsula. The phenological study of the family Geometridae shows a high proportion of univoltine (56.8%) versus polivoltine (20.3%) species, as well as of species considered infrequent, with less than 15 specimens observed (53.4%) versus those considered frequent, with more than 51 specimens found (20.3%). This shows the fragility of the area under study when facing ecosystem changes.
