Eupithecia repentina Vojnits & de Laever, 1978 [1] |
Eupithecia repentina is a moth in the family Geometridae. It is endemic to eastern Russia, Korea, China and Japan. [2]
The species was introduced with its foodplant ( Mosla dianthera ) to a small park in Novomoskovsk (Tula Province, Russia) between 1950 and 1990. This small area now supports a small population of the species. [3]
