Pasiphila Muscosata
''Pasiphila muscosata'', the emerald pug moth, is a moth in the family Geometridae. It is endemic to New Zealand and has been found in the North, South and Stewart Islands. The larvae of this species are known to be present in January and live on ''Muehlenbeckia'' species including ''Muehlenbeckia australis.'' The larvae tends to be brown but it is variable in both colour and markings. The larvae of this species pupates in a loose cocoon on the ground and adult moths emerge in September. Adults are commonly on the wing until the following May. Although adults tend to be a deep emerald green colour this species is again variable and there is also an orange-yellow variety as well as intermediate forms. Adults are attracted to light and often rest during the day on tree trunks. Taxonomy This species was first described by Francis Walker in 1862 and named ''Eupithecia muscosata''. Walker used a specimen collected by T. R. Oxley in Nelson. In 1868 Achille Guenée, thinking he was de ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Its larvae feed off ''Olearia'' species and the adult moth can be seen on the wing from November to April. This species is regarded as rare.

''Pasiphila acompsa'' is a moth in the family Geometridae. It was described by Louis Beethoven Prout in 1927. It is endemic to New Zealand and has been observed in mountainous locations in both the North and South Islands. Larvae of this species have been reared on plants within the Veronica genus. Adults are on the wing from December to February. Taxonomy This species was first described by Alfred Philpott in 1915 and named ''Chloroclystis modesta''.
