| Taxonomic Notes: |
Eupithecia pusillata ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775), listed by Ferguson (in Hodges et al. 1983) as extralimital with the Nearctic subspecies E. p. interruptofasciata Packard, 1873 (now a full species), is now recognized within the North American fauna north of Mexico. Mironov (2003) reported records of E. pusillata scoriata Staudinger, 1857 from Greenland. BOLD:ABZ6329, the BIN group for pusillata, includes one DNA barcoded specimen from Greenland, sample zmuc00023411. DeWaard et al. (2010) confirmed records from British Columbia. |
