Charissa glaucinaria is a moth species belonging to the family Geometridae. It was first described by Jacob Hübner in 1799. This moth is found in mountainous regions of central and southern Europe, and its range extends eastward to Turkey, Ukraine, and Georgia. In the Alps, it occurs at altitudes above 2,000 meters. The wingspan of adult Charissa glaucinaria ranges from 30 to 36 mm. This species can produce up to three generations per year, and adult moths are active in flight from May to June, from July to September, and as late as November. The larvae of Charissa glaucinaria feed on a variety of plant species, including Sedum album, and species from the genera Silene and Campanula.
