Gnophos Perspersata
''Gnophos'' is a genus in the geometer moth family (biology), family (Geometridae). A mostly Old World lineage, it is abundant in the Palearctic, with some North American species as well; in Europe six species are recorded. This genus has about 120 known species altogether in several recognized subgenera, with new ones still being discovered occasionally. This is the type genus of the tribe (biology), tribe Gnophini in subfamily Ennominae, which some authors include in the Boarmiini. Selected species Subgenera and species of ''Gnophos'' include:FE (2011), and see references in Savela (2009) Some other species formerly placed here are now in related genera such as ''Charissa'', ''Ortaliella'' and ''Stueningia'' Footnotes References * (2011)''Gnophos'' Version 2.4, 27 January 2011.

Scotch Annulet
''Gnophos obfuscata'', commonly known as the Scotch annulet or Scottish annulet, is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species was Species description, first described by Michael Denis and Ignaz Schiffermüller in 1775. It can be found in northern, central, and southeastern Europe, as well as in Scotland, Ireland, and the Iberian Peninsula. The wingspan is .The forewing has a dark spot and two, often indistinct, dark transverse lines that delimit a trapezoidal field that is sometimes slightly darker than the rest of the wing. It may also have a hint of a white transverse stripe along the outer edge, otherwise it is completely evenly colored. The larva is smooth, greyish-brown with two small warts on the back of the posterior body joint.Bernd Müller, Sven Erlacher, Axel Hausmann, Hossein Rajaei, Pasi Sihvonen and Peder Skou, 2019In: Axel Hausmann (Hrsg.):, 2019 ''The Geometrid Moths of Europe''. 1.

Ennominae
Ennominae is the largest subfamily of the geometer moth family (Geometridae), with some 9,700 described species in 1,100 genera. Most species are fairly small, though some (such as the peppered moth) grow to be considerably large. This subfamily has a global distribution. It includes some species that are notorious defoliating pests. The subfamily was first described by Philogène Auguste Joseph Duponchel in 1845. The status of several tribes is debated. For example, the Boarmiini are sometimes massively expanded to include the Bistonini, Bupalini, Erannini, Gnophini, Melanolophini, Phaseliini and Theriini. The Nacophorini and perhaps the Campaeini might need to be merged with the Lithinini, and all three might warrant merging into the Ennomini. The group, sometimes separated as Cassymini, is tentatively included in the Abraxini here. The Alsophilinae, usually treated as a small subfamily in their own right, might simply be a specialized lineage of Boarmiini. P ...

Gnophos Dumetata
''Gnophos dumetata'', the Irish annulet, is a species of moth in the family Geometridae. It is found in large parts of Europe (including West Russia and Ukraine), except Great Britain, Portugal, the Benelux, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Fennoscandia and the Baltic region. It is also found from north-western Africa to Armenia, Dagestan, and the south-western part of the former Soviet Union. The wingspan The wingspan (or just span) of a bird or an airplane is the distance from one wingtip to the opposite wingtip. For example, the Boeing 777–200 has a wingspan of , and a wandering albatross (''Diomedea exulans'') caught in 1965 had a wingsp ... is 24–28 mm. "Larger than ''stevenaria'' ('' Gnopharmia stevenaria''), more brownish, with less enlarged costal spots, upperside usually with conspicuous discal dots, that of the forewing sometimes lost in the median shade. Underside without darkened distal area, postmedian line usually indicated by vein-dots.". Adults are on w ...

Gnophos Furvata
''Gnophos furvata'' is a species of moth in the family Geometridae. It is found in southern and central Europe. In the east, the range extends to the Carpathian Mountains and Ukraine. The wingspan The wingspan (or just span) of a bird or an airplane is the distance from one wingtip to the opposite wingtip. For example, the Boeing 777–200 has a wingspan of , and a wandering albatross (''Diomedea exulans'') caught in 1965 had a wingsp ... is 38–52 mm. Adults have been recorded feeding on the nectar of '' Eupatorium cannabinum'' and '' Silene'' species. They are on wing from June to September. The larvae feed on the leaves of various plants, including '' Prunus spinosa'', '' Cornus sanguinea'', '' Clematis vitalba'', '' Coronilla coronata'' and '' Hippocrepis comosa''. The larvae can be found in late summer. The species overwinters in the larval stage. Pupation takes place in June of the following year.

Type Species
In International_Code_of_Zoological_Nomenclature, zoological nomenclature, a type species (''species typica'') is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological Type (biology), type wiktionary:en:specimen, specimen (or specimens). Article 67.1 A similar concept is used for suprageneric groups and called a type genus. In botanical nomenclature, these terms have no formal standing under the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, code of nomenclature, but are sometimes borrowed from zoological nomenclature. In botany, the type of a genus name is a specimen (or, rarely, an illustration) which is also the type of a species name. The species name with that type can also be referred to as the type of the genus name. Names of genus and family ranks, the various subdivisions of those ranks, and some higher-rank names based on genus names, have suc ...
