Geometridae, Sterrhinae, Lythriini, Lythria sp. It is either Sanguinaria or Cruentaria, but there are conflicting entries in EOL and leps.it, which need clarification. Both are actually trustable sites, but it looks like that one of them has a wrong ID!?? Come back later, when things are cleared! http://www.leps.it/indexjs.htm?SpeciesPages/LythrCruen.htm http://www.leps.it/indexjs.htm?SpeciesPages/LythrSangu.htm http://eol.org/pages/287635/overview
