Eupithecia semigraphata is a moth in the Geometridae family. It is found from most of Europe (except the Netherlands, Ireland, Great Britain, Denmark, Fennoscandia, the Baltic region and Portugal)[2] to the Caucasus and Armenia. It is also present on the Canary Islands and North Africa.
The wingspan is about 18–20 mm.[3] Adults are on wing from late June to August in one generation per year.
The larvae feed on the flowers of Calamintha (including Calamintha nepeta and Calamintha sylvatica), Hypericum, Origanum[4] and Thymus species.[5] The species overwinters in the pupal stage.[6]
