Superfamily is Geometroidea, that's not the same as Geometridae. Geometroidea are Geometridae, Uraniidae and Sematuridae. Like the Bombycoidea (or Sphingoidea) as a superfamily are Saturniidae, Sphingidae, Eupterotidae, Apatelodidae, Brahmaeidae, Bombycidae and some more.

This is not Uraniid Moth but Geometridae moth.
