Eupithecia
''Eupithecia'' is the largest genus of moths of the family Geometridae, and the namesake and type genus of tribe Eupitheciini. Species in the genus are, like those of other genera in the tribe, commonly known as pugs. The genus is highly speciose, with over 1400 species, and members of the genus are present in most of the world with exception of Australasia. Roughly a quarter of described ''Eupithecia'' species occur in the Neotropical realm, where they have an especially high species diversity in the montane rain forests of the Andes. The genus includes a few agricultural pest species, such as the currant pug moth, '' Eupithecia assimilata'', which is a pest on hops, and the cloaked pug moth, '' Eupithecia abietaria'', which is a cone pest in spruce seed orchards. Adult specimens of ''Eupithecia'' are typically small, often between 12 and 35 mm, with muted colours, and display a large amount of uniformity between species. As a result, identification of a specimen as part o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eupithecia Absinthiata
The wormwood pug (''Eupithecia absinthiata'') is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species was first described by Carl Alexander Clerck in 1759. It is a common species across the Palearctic region as well as North America. The wingspan is 21–23 mm and the forewings are warm brown with two black spots along the costa with a black discal spot completing a distinctive triangle. There is a pale narrow line near the fringe with a distinct whitish spot near the tornus, although this is not as prominent as in the rather similar currant pug. The hindwings are greyish brown.ab.

Eupithecia Abietaria
The cloaked pug (''Eupithecia abietaria'') is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species was first described by Johann August Ephraim Goeze in 1781 and it can be found in Europe and to the east in Siberia and Japan. The wingspan is 21–23 mm. It is a large and handsome species, the lines sharply expressed and marked with black teeth or dashes on the veins. There is a very large discal dot and two red-brown bands. The face is without well-developed cone of scales and the palpus is about twice as long as the diameter of the eye The forewing has a double areole . - ab.

Eupithecia Innotata
''Eupithecia innotata'', the angle-barred pug, is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species was Species description, first described by Johann Siegfried Hufnagel in 1767. It ranges from Spain in the west to western Siberia and Central Asia in the east. There are three forms found in the British Isles: * ''E. innotata sensu stricto'' (angle-barred pug) is found only on the east and south-east coasts * f. ''fraxinata'' (ash pug) is widely distributed * rare f. ''tamarisciata'' (tamarisk pug) The forewings are generally dark brown or grey with few distinguishing marks apart from a small white Tornus (insect anatomy), tornal spot which may not be present on the frequent melanism, melanic forms. They are crossed by darker oblique lines, which are angled on the front margin; the submarginal line is white and irregular, especially at each end.The wingspan is 18–24 mm. Riley, A.M. and Prior, G.

Eupithecia Assimilata
The currant pug (''Eupithecia assimilata'') is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species was first described by Henry Doubleday in 1856. It is found across the Nearctic and Palearctic regions. Its occurrence extends eastwards from Ireland, across Europe to the Near East, the Urals, the Ussuri region and on to the island of Sakhalin. In the Pyrenees and the Alps it rises to altitudes of 1500 and 1800 metres respectively. This species is rather similar to the wormwood pug, with warm brown forewings and a triangle of black spots close to the costa, but can be recognized by its broader wings and a more prominent white spot close to the tornus. Prout states - easily distinguished from ''absinthiata'' by its somewhat broader forewing, deeper colour, larger discal mark, more strongly developed subterminal spots, especially the posterior one, darker hindwing, with white dot or spot near anal angle, and especially by the spotted fringes. — ''grisescens'' Dietze from Central Rus ...

Eupithecia Accurata
''Eupithecia accurata'' is a moth in the family Geometridae. It is found in Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, northern Iran and Kazakhstan. Adult specimens have light grey fore- and hindwings with checked fringes on both pairs of wings.
