Eupithecia ravocostaliata, the Tawny Eupithecia or Great Varigated Pug, is a moth in the Geometridae family. It is found in northern New York and the New England states, extending across Canada from the Maritime Provinces to Vancouver Island and down the west coast as far as the San Francisco Bay region.
The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings have a pale, whitish ground colour with white and black costal and submarginal patches.[3] Adults have been recorded on wing from January to August.
The larvae feed on the foliage of Rhamnus purshiana.[4]
