Euthyatira semicircularis is a moth in the family Drepanidae.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from British Columbia to California, east to Utah.[2] The habitat consists of coastal rainforests and boreal forests.[3]
The wingspan is 39–45 mm. The forewings of the males are silvery grey, but dark grey in females. There are three or four arc-shaped black lines across the wing in the basal area and there is a semicircular whitish or pale yellow patch at the base, bordered by black. There is also a pale grey apical patch, bordered by a black oblique apical dash. The postmedian line is dark and double, while the subterminal line is faint and terminates at the apical dash. The hindwings are light yellowish-grey with dark veins.[4] Adults are on wing from May to July.
