''Epipsestis ornata'' is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by Leech in 1889.〔(LepIndex )〕 It is found in Japan, the Korean Peninsula, the Russian Far East〔(Epipsestis at funet )〕 and China (Heilongjiang, Jilin, Shaanxi).〔, , & 2015: An updated checklist of Thyatirinae (Lepidoptera, Drepanidae) from China, with descriptions of one new species. zootaxa 2015 3941.〕 The wingspan is about 38 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is greyish brown, but browner along the base and costa. There is a series of dark wavy lines forming a broad band, the interior border of which is curved and sharply serrated, and the outer elbowed below the subcostal nervure, and indented above the inner margin. The central fascia is greyish white towards the inner margin, bordered externally by a blackish double line deeply angulated towards the outer margin, followed by a dark serrated line, and a fainter submarginal dentated line curving from the apex to the outer margin. There is a series of black linear marks along the outer margin, as well as three tufts of raised black scales, one forming a basal dash, the second representing the orbicular stigma and the third, which is edged with whitish, the reniform stigma. The hindwings are fuscous brown, darker towards the margins.〔(Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1888 : 653 )〕 The larvae feed on ''Quercus mongolica''.〔(A review of the Thyatirin-moths (Lepidoptera, Drepanidae: Thyatirinae) of the Russian Far East )〕 ==Subspecies== *''Epipsestis ornata ornata'' (Japan) *''Epipsestis ornata obscurata'' Tshistjakov, 1987 (Russian Far East, Korean Peninsula, China: Heilongjiang, Jilin, Shaanxi) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Epipsestis ornata」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
