Hagnagora elianne


Hagnagora elianne is a species of moth of the family Geometridae first described by J. Bolling Sullivan in 2011. It is found in Costa Rica and Honduras.
Adults are very similar to Hagnagora anicata and Hagnagora unnia. Males are slightly larger than those of H. unnia but otherwise indistinguishable. They may be distinguished from H. anicata by the swollen distal half of the uncus and the absence of a moderately large, upcurved spine at the end of the costa. Females may be distinguished from females of H. unnia by their longer, more complex signa. The female of H. anicata is undescribed.

Etymology

The species is named for Eli-Anne Lindstrom, a scientist whose biological studies of freshwater algae have contributed significantly to water quality monitoring in Norway.
