Postmedial line prominent, on forewing it is rather smooth, dentate or even zigzag-shaped, turning inwards near costa, outer margin bordered with whitish. Fovea absent. Venation (Figs 1 - 2); Sc free, R 1 and R 2 in forewing completely coincident, often approaching the stem of R 3 + R 4 near its base, rarely anastomosing with it. Common stalk (stem) of R 3 - R 5 remote from upper corner of cell (= origin of M 1). R 3 and R 5 branching off rather basally (proximally). Hindwing with large frenulum. Veins Rs and CuA 1 arising remote from upper and lower corner of cell. Space between M 1 and M 3 large. 3 A present, weak, reaching posterior margin just behind middle. Male antennae bipectinate almost to the tip (5 - 8 apical segments unpectinated), rami narrow, dorsally unscaled, arising proximally on ventral side from rather long flagellomeres. Female antennae filiform. Frons flat, rather broad, smooth-scaled, palps porrect or slightly curved upwards, rough-scaled, reaching well beyond frons. Haustellum moderately developed. Chaetosemata round type, near eye margin, well developed. Male hindtibia with weak hair pencil (if not everted, a weak groove visible only), hindtibia of both sexes with 2 + 2 spurs (index of spurs 0 - 2 - 4). Setal comb (oval field) of minute setae present on abdominal sternite 3 (Figs 3 - 5), weak sterno-tympanal process laterally on sternite 1 + 2, with short, free, distally rounded end.

C0CC53D2961683614B6B179650735EA3.taxon	biology_ecology	Biology. Probably all species feed on Juniper needles. Larva of Ekboarmia atlanticaria has been recorded on (Culot 1919) and found on Juniperus phoenicea (Zangheri 1968; Corley 2004) and that of Ekboarmia sagnesi has been reared on Juniperus communis (Colomb 2005). Moths are found in a variety of habitat types from coastal dunes to open pine forests to mountain slopes with scattered trees and bushes, from sea-level to 1400 metres.	en	Skou, Peder, Stuening, Dieter, Sihvonen, Pasi (2017): Revision of the West-Mediterranean geometrid genus Ekboarmia, with description of a new species from Portugal (Lepidoptera, Geometridae, Ennominae).

Wings grey-brown, forewing medial area darker brown, general appearance somewhat smooth, slightly glossy. Forewing with antemedial line inclined, deeply V-shaped and acutely angled back towards base but often this part very narrow and only weakly visible.

Terminal line blackish, narrow, often discontinuous, stronger at vein endings. Fringes uniform grey-brown. Hindwing medial line weakly curved, strongest near inner margin, often absent towards costa. Area between medial and postmedial lines often darker than remaining wing surface. Hindwing postmedial line weakly dentate, more strongly curved outwards than medial line, outer margin whitish. Hindwing subterminal line grey or brown, diffuse. Forewing discal spots blackish, small, distinct. Hindwing discal spots smaller. Wings below grey-brown, medial lines diffuse. Postmedial line discontinuous, with blackish dentation, discal spots and terminal line blackish. Course of postmedial line differs from that of upperside, antemedial line hardly visible. Frons, collar, thorax and abdomen concolorous with wings. Antennae concolorous with wings dorsally.

7DBAF46DAED62816FA6CE50BCB9183A8.taxon	distribution	Distribution and abundance (Fig. 17). West-Mediterranean. In Europe only in southwestern Iberian Peninsula, the Balearic Islands, and Sardinia. There is also a record of a single specimen from southern France, undoubtedly a migrant from outside the known distribution area, of which the closest is the Balearic Islands. Outside Europe, in Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. In Europe a somewhat local but not rare species, which can be found in limited numbers in its localities.	en	Skou, Peder, Stuening, Dieter, Sihvonen, Pasi (2017): Revision of the West-Mediterranean geometrid genus Ekboarmia, with description of a new species from Portugal (Lepidoptera, Geometridae, Ennominae).

Fringes concolorous with wings, uniform. Discal spots weak or absent. Wings below uniform pale greyish brown, postmedial line and discal spots most visible, antemedial line of forewing absent. Course of postmedial line in forewing does not conform to upperside. Frons, collar, thorax, and abdomen concolorous with wings. Other structures as in Ekboarmia atlanticaria, see above.	en	Skou, Peder, Stuening, Dieter, Sihvonen, Pasi (2017): Revision of the West-Mediterranean geometrid genus Ekboarmia, with description of a new species from Portugal (Lepidoptera, Geometridae, Ennominae).

A88EA169981D318A770AFF6F932EFA75.taxon	distribution	Distribution and abundance (Fig. 17). Southwest European. Only few and isolated populations are known: In Val de la Romanche, Dept. Hautes-Alpes, France, from Valle de Luna and Velilla de Rio Carrion (Javier Gaston, pers. comm.), both in Leon Province and Sierra de Cazorla, Jaen Province, Spain. The species is unknown outside Europe. An apparently extremely local species that appears as single specimens or in limited numbers. Weiss (1920) listed Ekboarmia atlanticaria from Spain, Sierra de Albarracin. We have not been able to trace the Weiss Collection, and since Ekboarmia atlanticaria has not been reported since from that area, which is unlikely to contain habitats suitable for this species, Weiss's record is surely based on a misidentification. Redondo et al. (2009) mention Weiss's record from Sierra de Albarracin also, suggesting it is possibly Ekboarmia sagnesi because potentially suitable habitats are present in the area (this record is shown as a question mark in the map). Ekboarmia sagnesi should certainly be looked for in Sierra de Albarracin.	en	Skou, Peder, Stuening, Dieter, Sihvonen, Pasi (2017): Revision of the West-Mediterranean geometrid genus Ekboarmia, with description of a new species from Portugal (Lepidoptera, Geometridae, Ennominae).
