The early tooth-striped (''Trichopteryx carpinata'') is a moth of the Geometridae family. It is found in most of Europe (except Iceland and Greece, Sicily, Sardinia and Croatia), east to the eastern part of the Palearctic ecozone including the Russian Far East, Siberia and the Ili district, Kazakhstan. . The wingspan is 30–34 mm."Ground-colour whitish grey, in freshly emerged specimens with a very delicate green tinge; the markings somewhat darker brownish grey, but generally quite weakly expressed. Hindwing whitish, greyer distally, sometimes with one or two fairly well-defined grey lines not far from the distal margin, Male narrower-winged than female. — In ab. ''fasciata'' Prout the two central bands are very much darker, sometimes quite deep fuscous, giving the effect of a different species. Frequent in Perthshire. - ''obscurata'' Sp. Schneid., described as a local race in Norway, is perhaps transitional towards ab. ''fasciata'', as the bands and lines are said to be more distinct; the ground-colour, however, is also darkened, which is not the case with ''fasciata''. - ab. ''unifasciata'' Rbl. is a development of ab. ''fasciata'' in which the two bands coalesce in their posterior part, leaving only a pale central part anteriorly, as in ''polycommata''." 〔Prout , L.B. 1912–16. Geometridae. In A. Seitz (ed.)

The larva feed on various trees, including ''Lonicera'', ''Salix'' and ''Betula''. ==References== 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「Trichopteryx carpinata」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
