The genus Hbner (Geometridae: Larentiinae) comprises 254 valid species, 217 of which were described from the Neotropics and 31 of those having their type locality in Brazil. Since this species rich genus has never been revised, and may potentially include many cryptic undescribed species, embodies a problematic taxonomic scenario. The actual diversity of is greatly underestimated and the Brazilian fauna is poorly known, both because of inadequate sampling and because of the potential existence of cryptic species "hidden" within some nominal taxa. In this study we investigated the diversity within a cryptic species complexes associated to the and clades. We describe three new species Moraes & Montebello ., Moraes & Stanton ., and Moraes & Freitas in an integrative taxonomy approach, using morphology, host plant use and species delimitation tools.
霍布纳属（尺蛾科：光尺蛾亚科）包含254个有效物种，其中217个物种是在新热带地区被描述的，且其中31个物种的模式产地在巴西。由于这个物种丰富的属从未被修订过，并且可能潜在地包含许多未被描述的隐存物种，呈现出一个有问题的分类学情况。霍布纳属的实际多样性被大大低估，巴西的动物区系也鲜为人知，这既是因为采样不足，也是因为在一些名义分类单元中可能存在“隐藏”的隐存物种。在本研究中，我们调查了与霍布纳属和相关的一个隐存物种复合体内部的多样性。我们采用综合分类学方法，利用形态学、寄主植物利用和物种界定工具，描述了三个新物种：莫赖斯和蒙特贝洛命名的 、莫赖斯和斯坦顿命名的 以及莫赖斯和弗雷塔斯命名的 。
