Abstract - Notes on some species of Geometridae (Lepidoptera) new or little known to the northern Apennines - It is pointed out how the upper Apennines in the area surrounding Bologna represent the southern limit in the distribution along the Italian peninsula of several species of Geometridae. Colostygia lineolata F. and Perizoma blandiata D. & S. are recorded for the first time from the Apennines. In the same area Menophra serraria A. Costa, species endemic to this chain, finds the absolute northern limit of its distribution. A brief information on the ecology and the distribution of every species are also given.
