About the White-Pinion Spotted

Lomographa bimaculata, the white-pinion spotted, is a species of geometer moth (family Geometridae). It belongs to the large geometer moth subfamily Ennominae, and therein to the tribe Baptini. It is – under its junior synonym – the type species of its genus Lomographa. It is also (under its original name Phalaena bimaculata) the type species of Bapta, a junior objective synonym of Lomographa and the namesake of the Baptini. The species was first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1775.

However, it seems to be absent in the Balkans, between Bosnia-Herzegovina and Greece. It is also not found in Iceland and is rare at the periphery of its range; for example, north of the English Midlands and on Ireland it is found only locally. To the east it extends into the Caucasus, Russia, the Russian Far East, Siberia, Central Asia and Japan. The species occurs in the Southern Alps... Wikipedia →
