The Geometroidea are the superfamily of geometrid moths in the order Lepidoptera. It includes the families Geometridae, Uraniidae, Epicopeiidae, Sematuridae, and Pseudobistonidae.{{cite journal |doi=10.1111/zsc.12108 |title=Advances in Geometroidea phylogeny, with characterization of a new family based on Pseudobiston pinratanai (Lepidoptera, Glossata) |journal=Zoologica Scripta |volume=44 |issue=4 |pages=418–436 |year=2015 |last1=Rajaei|first1=Hossein |last2=Greve|first2=Carola |last3=Letsch|first3=Harald |last4=Stüning|first4=Dieter |last5=Wahlberg|first5=Niklas |last6=Minet|first6=Joël |last7=Misof|first7=Bernhard |s2cid=84153029 }} The Geometroidea superfamily has more than 24,000 described species, making them one of the largest superfamilies inside the order Lepidoptera.{{cite journal |doi=10.1002/ece3.9813
