Eupithecia yelchoensis is a moth in the family Geometridae. It is found in the regions of Biobio (Nuble Province) and Los Lagos (Llanquihue and Paleno provinces) in Chile.[2] The habitat consists of the Northern Valdivian and Valdivian Forest Biotic provinces.

The length of the forewings is about 8.5 mm for males and 8.5–9 mm for females. The forewings are pale brown, fading to white, with blackish-brown areas of scales along the costa and with small brown or greyish-brown areas in the median area extending from the costa to the dark discal spot and along the outer margin below the costa and above the tornus. The hindwings are white to pale greyish white, with an increasing number of pale greyish-brown scales distally. Adults have been recorded on wing in December and January.

Etymology

The specific name is based on the type locality, with the suffix -ensis added.

gollark: The issue is that - assuming we can't mind-control it - the grudger will remember that I was mean to it.

gollark: The time machine one does exist and might slightly mess things up.

gollark: The game lets me have persistent state (or at least doesn't strictly forbid it), so I'm sure something could be done with that.

gollark: Tit-for-tat.

gollark: Anyway, I could probably maybe calculate when the best time to try and separate a grudger, TFT and angel is, *or* I could wildly gueß.
