Overview
Lemonia dumi is a species of moth of the family Brahmaeidae. It is found in scattered populations in Central Europe.
Lemonia dumi faces severe population declines primarily due to habitat loss and degradation of its specialized heathland and scrubland ecosystems. Agricultural intensification, urban development, and changes in traditional land management practices have eliminated much of the species' required habitat across its European range.
