Resumen

Los Geometridae Stephens, 1829 se consideran como un grupo modelo excelente para estudiar a nivel global, los patrones de diversidad de los insectos a lo largo de gradientes de elevación. Este trabajo documenta a 168 especies de Geometridae pertenecientes a 99 géneros y 5 subfamilias de diferentes áreas protegidas en el estado del Himalaya occidental, Uttarakhand, en India. La lista incluye 36 especies registradas por primera vez de Uttarakhand, que ha sido mal explorado hasta ahora y revela la expansión del alcance altitudinal de al menos 15 especies.
Estudiamos muestras de distintas zonas de vegetación de elevación entre los 600 m y los 3.600 m, en el área de Dehradun-Rajaji, Parque Nacional de Nanda Devi, Parque Nacional del Valle de las Flores, Reserva Natural de Govind, Parque Nacional de Gangotri y Reserva Natural de Askot. La subfamilia Ennominae supone el mayor número de especies, pero se encontró que las especies de la subfamilia Larentiinae eran más restringidas a las áreas más elevadas. El bosque mixto de coníferas occidental reúne el mayor  número de especies, mientras que el bosque subalpino se caracteriza por incluir el mayor número de especies indicadoras, identificadas por medio del análisis de especies indicadoras. Mientras que las especies indo-malayas dominan la composición del conjunto, el máximo número de endemismos del Himalaya, sugiere que estas especies están más adaptadas al gradiente climático del Himalaya desde hace tiempo y las perturbaciones climáticas actualmente en curso, podrían dificultar su futura supervivencia.
