Abstract - Contribution to the knowledge of the geometrid moths of the Italian Alps (Lepidoptera, Geometridae) - New data are presented on the distributions o several species of the family Geometridae in the Italian Alps. 7 species, including Abraxas sylvata (Scopoli, 1763) and Macaria signaria (Hübner, [1809]), are reported for the first time from Friuli; 3 are new to Veneto, 2 to Piedmont. The presence of Odontognophos dumetatus (Treitschke, 1827) in the Italian western Alps and that of Glacies bentelii (Rätzer, 1890) in the Aosta Valley is reported for the first time. For each of the 39 reviewed species the distribution in Italy is given, also on the basis of unpublished data. M. signaria is excluded from the fauna of southern Italy.
