Species of moth

Euxoa eruta Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Arthropoda Clade: Pancrustacea Class: Insecta Order: Lepidoptera Superfamily: Noctuoidea Family: Noctuidae Genus: Euxoa Species: E. eruta Binomial name Euxoa eruta (Hübner, [1817]) Synonyms Noctua eruta Hübner, [1817]

***Euxoa eruta*** is a [moth](/source/Moth) of the family [Noctuidae](/source/Noctuidae). It is found in [Italy](/source/Italy), [Spain](/source/Spain), [France](/source/France), [Germany](/source/Germany), [Denmark](/source/Denmark), [Fennoscandia](/source/Fennoscandia), [Austria](/source/Austria), [Switzerland](/source/Switzerland), [Hungary](/source/Hungary), [Bulgaria](/source/Bulgaria), the [Czech Republic](/source/Czech_Republic), [Greece](/source/Greece), [Turkey](/source/Turkey), [Belarus](/source/Belarus), the [Baltic region](/source/Baltic_region), [Siberia](/source/Siberia) and from central Asia up to the [Altai Mountains](/source/Altai_Mountains). Note that *E. eruta* may not be a [good species](/source/Species_problem). The *Euxoa tritici* complex consists of five sibling species in Europe: *[Euxoa tritici](/source/Euxoa_tritici)* (Linnaeus, 1761), *[Euxoa nigrofusca](/source/Euxoa_nigrofusca)* (Esper, 1788), *Euxoa eruta* (Hübner, 1817), *[Euxoa diaphora](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Euxoa_diaphora&action=edit&redlink=1)* Boursin, 1928 and *[Euxoa segnilis](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Euxoa_segnilis&action=edit&redlink=1)* (Duponchel, 1836). Furthermore, although Fibiger (1997) treated *[Euxoa montivaga](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Euxoa_montivaga&action=edit&redlink=1)* differently it belongs to the *E. tritici* complex. Differences among the species are subtle, the most important diagnostic characteristics being genitalic. In studies of three of these species, *E. tritici*, *E. nigrofusca* and *E. eruta*, no support was found for the presence of several morphologically distinguishable species with quantitative morphometric analyses.[1]

The [wingspan](/source/Wingspan) is 29–38 mm. Adults are on wing from June to September.
