The Northern Grass-veneer ("Catoptria furcatellus") is a moth of which family, and is found in mountainous areas of Europe, including Fennoscandia, or the Fennoscandian Peninsula, is the geographical peninsula of the Nordic region comprising the Scandinavian Peninsula, Finland, Karelia, and the Kola Peninsula?
Fennoscandia Fennoscandia (Finnish: "Fennoskandia" ; Swedish: "Fennoskandien" ; Norwegian: "Fennoskandia" ; Russian: Фенноскандия "Fennoskandiya" ), Fenno-Scandinavia, or the Fennoscandian Peninsula, is the geographical peninsula of the Nordic region comprising the Scandinavian Peninsula, Finland, Karelia, and the Kola Peninsula. It encompasses Finland, Norway and Sweden, as well as Murmansk Oblast, much of the Republic of Karelia, and parts of northern Leningrad Oblast in Russia. Its name comes from the Latin words "Fennia" (Finland) and "Scandia" (Scandinavian). The term was first used by the Finnish geologist Wilhelm Ramsay in 1898. Geologically, the area is distinct because its bedrock is Archaean granite and gneiss with very little limestone, in contrast to adjacent areas in Europe.
Euxoa eruta Euxoa eruta is a moth of the Noctuidae family. It is found in Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Denmark, Fennoscandia, Austria, Switzerland, Hungary, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Greece, Turkey, Belarus, the Baltic region, Siberia and from central Asia up to the Altai Mountains. Note that "E. eruta" may not be a good species. The "Euxoa tritici" complex consists of five sibling species in Europe: "Euxoa tritici" (Linnaeus, 1761), "Euxoa nigrofusca" (Esper, 1788), "Euxoa eruta" (Hübner, 1817), "Euxoa diaphora" Boursin, 1928 and "Euxoa segnilis" (Duponchel, 1836). Furthermore, although Fibiger (1997) treated "Euxoa montivaga" differently it belongs to the "E. tritici" complex. Differences among the species are subtle, the most important diagnostic characteristics being genitalic. In studies of three of these species, "E. tritici", "E. nigrofusca" and "E. eruta", no support was found for the presence of several morphologically distinguishable species with quantitative morphometric analyses.
