The Double-striped Pug Moth Gymnoscelis
rufifasciata belongs to a large sub-family (Larentiinae) of about fifty small, inconspicuous Geometrid
macro-moths (smaller than some micro-moths) with cryptic coloration rendering
them difficult to see when at rest. The species can be difficult to separate, even
with the aid of high-quality reference material, and particularly so if any
distinctive markings have been worn away in older specimens. The colours may be
less consistent than the shapes of the markings. With thanks to Graham Collins
for confirming this identification.
