Aponotoreas synclinalis (also known as the Wirerush looper) is a moth of the family Geometridae.[1][2] It is endemic to New Zealand.[3]

Taxonomy

This species was first described by George Vernon Hudson in 1903 as Notoreas synclinalis from a type specimen discovered by Alfred Philpott at Seaward Moss near Invercargill on 4 January 1900.[4] In 1986 R. C. Craw described the new genus Aponotoreas and included A. synclinalis within it.[3]

Distribution

This moth is common in upland areas of the Catlins, Longwood Range and Stewart Island.[5] It is also present in south-west Fiordland.[5] It is unusual as it is only one of two species in its genus where specimens have been collected at sea level.[5]

Behaviour

This species is day flying and is on the wing from January until March.[6]

Host plants

The host plant of the larvae of A. synclinalis is Empodisma minus, the lesser wire rush,[3] and in alpine areas of Stewart Island is Dracophyllum politum.[7]
