From HandWiki

Artiora is a monotypic genus of moths in the family Geometridae. Its sole species, Artiora evonymaria, occurs in Europe.[1] Larvae of A. evonymaria are monophagous external feeders on leaves of European spindle (Euonymus europaeus).[2]

Taxonomy

Genus Artiora was erected by Edward Meyrick in 1892.[3] Artiora evonymaria was first described in 1775 by Michael Denis and Ignaz Schiffermüller (as Geometra evonymaria).[3] 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.[4]
