A new species and a new record of Pero Herrich-Schäffer, 1855 (Lepidoptera, Geometridae) in the Andes of southern Peru

“…Despite the importance of the knowledge of immature stages and natural history to the understanding of ecology and systematics of Lepidoptera, these aspects remain poorly studied for the Neotropical representatives of Pero (Vargas et al 2017). In order to gain insights in this regard, surveys for immature stages on native plants should be implemented, as detailed knowledge of geographic distribution and host plant use of these moths and other Lepidoptera (Farfán et al 2020a, b) could be a useful tool to plan further studies dealing with conservation biology in the amazing arid environments of the Andes of southern Peru.…”
