Eupithecia broui |
Eupithecia broui is a moth in the family Geometridae first described by Frederick H. Rindge in 1985. It is found in the US states of Louisiana, Mississippi and coastal North Carolina.[3]
The length of the forewings is 9.5–10.5 mm for males and 9–10 mm for females. The forewings are gray, with numerous grayish-brown scales. The hindwings are slightly paler than the forewings. Adults are on wing in February, March and April.
The species is named in honor of Vernon A. Brou, a collector of Louisiana Lepidoptera.
