Sažetak
A number of geometrids recorded in Croatia is nearly 450, representing about 45 % of the overall European geometrid fauna, on approximately 0.55 % of the total European territory. Data on diversity is gathered of records from published papers, data from collections of Croatian museums and unpublished field research data. The total number of geometrids of Croatia is not definitive because of a missing data from several museums and private collections across Europe. In addition, an exact distribution and conservation status of geometrids is insufficiently known because Croatia has not been equally and systematically surveyed. Biogeographical features of geometrids of Croatia and status of several species is discussed. Based only on inclusion on Annex II & IV of the EU Habitats Directive, just Erannis ankeraria (Staudinger, 1861) is legally protected in Croatia in the category of strictly protected taxa. Future activities regarding geometrids should focus on encouraging long-term geometrid moths’ research in Croatia and an active involvement in global activities focused on research of this species-rich family.
