The Irish Annulet (Gnophos dumetata) is a species of moth in the Geometridae family. It is found in large parts of Europe, except Great Britain, Portugal, the Benelux, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Fennoscandia and the Baltic region.[1] It is also found from north-western Africa to Armenia, Dagestan, and the south-western part of the former Soviet Union.[2]
