Dyspteris abortivaria

Dyspteris is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae erected by Jacob Hübner in 1818 found in North America.[1][2] Its only species, Dyspteris abortivaria, the bad-wing, was first described by Gottlieb August Wilhelm Herrich-Schäffer in 1855.[1][3][4][5] It is called "bad-wing" because its forewing is much larger than its hindwing, making it often difficult to pull into position for spreading.[6]

The MONA or Hodges number for Dyspteris abortivaria is 7648.[7]
