Abstract

In Argentina, the real diversity of the Geometridae family is greatly underestimated due to insufficient sampling and fragmented studies. Within highly diverse genera such as Macaria (Curtis, 1832), which includes around 330 species and subspecies with similar color patterns, there is the potential for the existence of as yet undiscovered species. A new species for the genus Macaria (Geometridae: Ennominae: Macariini) is described and illustrated in Argentina, based on specimens collected in the city of Garupá, Misiones. The male genital morphology and wing pattern of Macaria garupa sp. nov. are similar to those of Macaria rigidata, Guenée, [1858], but the diagnostic characters of the new species allow easily differentiation. The immature stages of M. garupa are associated with Duranta erecta L. (1758) (Verbenaceae). The significance of this discovery lies in the the description of a new species belonging to a poorly studied genus in the region, the characterization of its natural history, and the determination of its degree of synanthropy.
