Overview

Baptria is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae erected by Jacob Hübner in 1825. Its only species, Baptria tibiale, was first described by Eugenius Johann Christoph Esper in 1791. It is found in central and northern Europe.

Baptria tibiale, a European moth species, faces significant population declines primarily due to habitat loss and degradation of its specialized woodland environments. Climate change and forest management practices that alter the structure and composition of its host plant communities pose additional threats to this already vulnerable species.
