Scopula andalusiaria is a moth of the family Geometridae. It is found in Spain and western North Africa. [2]
The species was considered to be a valid species by Redondo & Gáston in 1999 and Scoble in 1999. However, Müller treated it as a subspecies of Scopula humifusaria in 1996. Hausmann reinstated it as a species in 2004.
The geometer moths are moths belonging to the family Geometridae of the insect order Lepidoptera, the moths and butterflies. Their scientific name derives from the Ancient Greek geo γῆ or γαῖα "the earth", and metron μέτρον "measure" in reference to the way their larvae, or "inchworms", appear to "measure the earth" as they move along in a looping fashion. A very large family, it has around 23,000 species of moths described, and over 1400 species from six subfamilies indigenous to North America alone. A well-known member is the peppered moth, Biston betularia, which has been subject of numerous studies in population genetics. Several other geometer moths are notorious pests.
