Rheumaptera cervinalis
Rheumaptera cervinalis, the scarce tissue, is a moth of the genus Rheumaptera in the family Geometridae. Approximately 40–48 mm in wingspan. Similar to tissue, but fore-wing slightly narrower and more pointed, rather rough textured, and not marked with pink. Central cross-lines closer together, often merged, usually blackish brown. Hind-wing is irregularly saw-toothed rather than scalloped. On the underside, small dark central spots bold and intense; two small dark spots near base of the fore-wing on leading edge. Flying season is April–June. Habitat is hedgerows, gardens, parkland and other urban situations.
