Wikipedia Abstract

Prorella gypsata is a moth in the family Geometridae. It is found in Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and south-western Texas. The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are creamy white. In the median area, there is a large, elongated, rectangular, costal patch which descends inward across the cell and contains an upright, black, discal streak. A narrow, white, outwardly angled band, separates this rectangle from a similarly coloured, subapical blotch. The subterminal area is largely smoky brown, the terminal margin lighter brown, the two areas separated by a dentate, white line. The hindwings are white crossed by curved postmedian and subterminal lines. Beyondthe latter, the margin is broadly tinged with smoky. Adults have been recorded on wing from May to June and again from August to Octo
