Similar Species: Pinned specimens of related species. (Hint: select View by Region on the related species page.) Synonymy: hastulata (Hübner, 1792) ssp. a. hastulata (Hübner, 1792) (Phalaena)  luctuata (Hübner, [1799]) (Geometra) ssp. b. echigoensis Inoue, 1982 (Epirrhoe); TL: Japan. Note: Synonym of ssp. reducta? ssp. c. reducta (Djakonov, 1929) (Cidaria); TL: Kamchatka. Taxonomic Notes: Epirrhoe hastulata (Hübner, 1792) is provisionally recognized within the North American fauna based on a specimen collected near College, AK by Jason Grant with DNA barcode which seems to match E. h. reducta (TL: Kamchatka); morphology-based ID is still pending.
