Artiora is a monotypic genus of moths in the family Geometridae. Its sole species, Artiora evonymaria, occurs in Europe.[2] Larvae of A. evonymaria are monophagous external feeders on leaves of European spindle (Euonymus europaeus).[3]

Taxonomy

[edit]

Genus Artiora was erected by Edward Meyrick in 1892.[4] Artiora evonymaria was first described in 1775 by Michael Denis and Ignaz Schiffermüller (as Geometra evonymaria).[4] Within the Geometridae, it was previously placed incertae sedis within tribe Ennomini, but as a result of 2024 phylogenetic research has been transferred to Boarmiini.[5]
