Eupithecia dearmata explained

Eupithecia dearmata is a moth in the family Geometridae. It is found in Turkey. Adults have dull grey wings with a large number of scattered dark scales and a wing span of 14–15 mm.^[1]

Taxonomy

The species was originally described by Karl Dietze in genus Eupithecia, though he mentioned the possibility that it might instead belong to genus Gymnoscelis,^[1] to which it was later transferred. In 2013, it was however restored to its original genus by Vladimir Mironov,^[2] whose placement has been followed by subsequent authors.^{[3] [4] [5]}
