Eupithecia classicata

Description

Eupithecia classicata is a moth in the family Geometridae. It is found in Arizona and Durango in Mexico. The wingspan is about 21–22 mm. The forewings are greyish-brown with a prominent black discal spot and a diffuse paler area immediately beyond this spot. Adults are sexually dimorphic, with some degree of variation. Most females lack the antemedial diagonal black bar on the forewings which is found in the males. This is replaced by some thin striations. Adults have been recorded year round. The larvae feed on Arbutus arizonica. They presumably feed on the flowers or leaf buds.
