Coenotephria salicata, the striped twin-spot carpet, is a moth of the Geometridae family. It is found in most of Europe. The wingspan is 29–31 mm. Adults have a grey ground colour with darker cross lines which are difficult to distinguish if the forewings are heavily mottled.There are white broken lines along the outer margin of forewings. Adults are on wing from May to July, and occasionally again in autumn in a partial second generation. The larvae feed on Galium species.
