The Emerald Moths (Lepidoptera: Geometridae: Geometrinae) of Papua Indonesia

by Rob de Vos

 

 

Aeolochroma albifusaria (Walker, 1866)

ssp. albifusaria (Walker, 1866)
discolor (Warren, 1896)

Aeolochroma albifusaria and A. viridimedia are very much alike but can easily be distinguished by the underside (verso) of the wings. The pattern of the white band and the colour is different.
