About Nycteola asiatica (Krulikowsky, 1904)
Nycteola asiatica, commonly called the eastern nycteoline, is a moth species belonging to the family Nolidae. Leonid Konstantinovich Krulikovovsky first described this species in 1904. Its distribution spans most of Europe, extending eastward across the Palearctic realm all the way to Japan. The wingspan of adult Nycteola asiatica ranges from 22 to 25 mm. This species closely resembles Nycteola revayana, and can only be reliably distinguished from it by examining its genitalic features. Depending on location, this moth produces two generations per year; adults fly from mid-June to September, and again from March to April. The larvae of Nycteola asiatica feed on species from the Salix and Populus genera.
