Eupithecia exiguata (Hübner, [1813]) new to the
Iberian Peninsula, with notes on other pug moths
Eupitheciini in Cantabria, Spain
(Lepidoptera: Geometridae).
SHILAP Revista de Lepidopterologia, 42 (165).
111-119.
Pug moths recorded in Cantabria, Spain are listed and discussed. Twenty-eight species are currently known. Eupithecia exiguata (Hübner, [1813]) is reported as completely new to the Iberian Peninsula. We argue that Cantabria should support approximately 44 species, which is about half of the total Iberian Peninsula fauna.
