As regards the Archiearinae, some species that were traditionally placed therein actually seem to belong to other subfamilies; altogether it seems that in a few cases, the prolegs which were originally lost in the ancestral geometer moths re-evolved as an atavism.
En canto aos Archiearinae, algunhas especies que foran tradicionalmente situadas neles agora parece que pertencen a outras subfamilias; en conxunto parece que nuns poucos casos, as propatas que se perderan orixinalmente nas xeómetras máis ancestrais reevolucionaron como un atavismo.
