Diagnosis

Cucullia umbratica can be distinguished from congeners by a combination of the following characters (Figs 1, 2): wingspan 48-57 mm; head and thorax grey mixed with brown; antenna with dorso-basally white; abdomen grey or brown; patagium elongate and forming a thoracic cowl; forewing ashen grey, the veins with dark brown; reniform and orbicular stigmata almost obsolete; basal steak to one–third of forewing, black and fine; terminal fascia dark brown but incomplete; the veins not extending into cilia; cilia white; hindwing white, the veins with brown but the latter sometimes reduced, in female the whole terminal half of hindwing brown; cilia white; terminal shade white with broken dark dividing line ( Hampson 1906, Heath and Emmet 1983).

Distribution

Europe (from Spain to southern Fennoscandia), Russia, Afghanistan, Turkestan, Mongolia, North America ( Hampson 1906, Heath and Emmet 1983, Dubatolov and Matov 2009, Handfield and Handfield 2010) and Japan (present study).
