SL31E Sphacelodes vulneraria

SL31E Sphacelodes vulneraria
Geometridae, Ennominae Wingspan : 42mm.
A single worn male (with the light fore-wing triangles) came in during our stay at this location, but it was much more common further south. Not a great picture, but it was found dead in the bottom of the trap. We have found that often older worn specimens just make it to our trap before expiring. There is a better picture of this species later in this album from the Jalousie records. It appears that the previous taxon name of S. brunneata was a synonym.
