Edwardsiana geometrica (Schrank, 1801)

In contrast to most Edwardsiana Zachvatkin, 1929 species, E. geometrica can easily be identified in the field by the blackish longitudinal stripe on the forewing along the corialclaval suture ( Fig. 15 ). On banks and in wet habitats on Alnus spp. , especially Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn. VI-X. The species was marked as expected by COUBEAUX (1892a).
