A review of of the North American species in the Geometridae: Larentiinae: Eupitheciini (Eupithecia, Nasusina, and Prorella) is presented. A series of species plates arranged in phylogenetic order follows a limited discussion of this group. Each plate illustrates both sexes (when known) of the adult moths and their associated genitalia. Minimal accompanying text provides the following information: literature citation for the original description; type locality; location of the type; biology when known with flight period; geographic distribution; and key diagnostic characters. A comprehensive annotated bibliography is included. The 2018 edition includes ix + 22 pp. + 191 plates and will not be revised. The November 2019 supplement provides 35 additional plates with associated text as appropriate. The revised supplement January 2022 provides 48 additional plates with associated text as appropriate, and replaces the previous 2019 Supplement. Two new species from New Mexico are described: Eupithecia vargoi and E. longispinata. The additional plates are not in phylogenetic order, but in sequence as the associated specimens were obtained, dissected and photographed.
