Similar Species: Pinned specimens of related species. (Hint: select View by Region on the related species page.) Synonymy: undulata Linnaeus 1758 (Phalaena) - MONA 1983: 7291 ssp. a. undulata Linnaeus 1758 (Phalaena) - MONA 1983: 7291; Type locality: Finland undularia Boisduval 1840 (Geometra) ssp. b. bluff Bryk 1921 (Eucosmia); Type locality: New York Taxonomic Notes: Rheumaptera undulata (Linnaeus, 1758), the type species of the genus Hydria where it was placed in Hodges et al. (1983), was transferred to Rheumaptera in Scoble (1999) and then returned to Hydria in Hausmann & Viidalepp (2012). More recently it has been shown in Brehm et al. (2019:S1) to be sister to Rheumaptera hastata (Linnaeus, 1758), the type species of Rheumaptera, based on both mitochondrial and nuclear markers, confirming the synonymy of the genus Hydria with Rheumaptera in Scoble (1999).
