RWWA 701 BOLD DNA: First ~25 matches all 100% for E. perfusca. A solid placement on the E. perfusca branch with few (probably misidentified) other species including about 5 specimens from this site currently listed as Eupithecia sp. Probably E. perfusca = E. miserulata as both have similar DNA matches.
Specimen is in good shape .. Very little pattern and a dull earthy (olive drab). A dark narrow collar (bandana) seems characteristic with other specimes of this species. Narrow dark discal spots at nearly right angle to the coastal margin. Thin terminal rod marks are nearly continuous.
Locality: Coastal SW Washington State at the edge of Willapa Bay geo:lat=46 37.273 ge=-123 56.8140:lon
