Somatina omicraria is a moth of the family Geometridae first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1798. It is found in India[2] and Sri Lanka.

Description

Its wingspan is about 30 mm. Antennae of male with fascicles of cilia. It is a white colored moth with fuscous frons. Wings irrorated (sprinkled) with a few fuscous scales. Forewings with traces of a waved antemedial line. A large irregular rufous and fuscous ocellelus at end of cell, with a ring of bluish-silver scales on it. Hindwings with a fulvous and silver line on discocellulars. Both wings with a curved and slightly sinuous postmedial black specks series, with a series of fuscous spots, beyond series of black striae.[3]

gollark: They are important. Words aren't clear cut definitions like, say, mathematical objects, and the dictionary just points to some common uses.

gollark: Great!

gollark: That's not actually what I said.

gollark: I failed to come up with a non-politically-charged example so I'll just use a horribly politically charged one: people arguing over statements like "abortion is murder" is pointless, as you're basically just arguing over whether you get to associate it with bad things or not, instead of getting to the actual underlying questions about, say, rights of unborn babies.

gollark: It doesn't help your argument, or help people more accurately think about the actions, or whatever.
