Oenospila kopperi is a moth species in the geometrid genus Oenospila . It is found on Sumatra in montane forests. [1]

Description

Oenospila kopperi has bright green wings, with a white costa on the forewing and a black triangular mark halfway on the inner margin of the hindwing. It has a wingspan of 26–29 mm. It is similar in external appearance to other species of genus Oenospila , several of which are similarly marked and of similar size, and can be reliably separated from these only by the male genitalia.
