P. curvilinea in OregonPerizoma genus in the geometer moth family (Geometridae). It is the type genus of tribe Perizomini in subfamily Larentiinae . The tribe is considered monotypic by those who include the genera Gagitodes Martania Mesotype Perizoma . Some other less closely related species formerly placed here are now elsewhere in the Larentiinae, e.g. in Entephria Larentiini .
Either way, there are more than 150 species of Perizoma currently known, with a generally Northern Hemisphere distribution (e.g. 14 occurring in Europe), and new ones still being described occasionally. Many of them are called rivulets ("the" rivulet is P. affinitata carpets , a common name for Larentiinae in general.[ 1]
It was first described by Jacob Hübner in 1825. One of its junior synonyms is Emmelesia , proposed by James Francis Stephens no less than three times – once validly in 1829, and within the next two years twice more invalidly , covering a total of 18 species.[ 2] Perizoma – Opisogonia , chosen by Gottlieb August Wilhelm Herrich-Schäffer in 1856 – had already been used by the same author the year before for a different geometer moth genus .[ 3]
