Eupithecia groenblomi is a moth of the family Geometridae. It is known from Europe and Asia. In Europe, it occurs in Norway, Finland and northwestern Russia and the Urals.[3] In Asia, it is known from the Russian Far East, the Kuril Islands, Japan and China.[3][4]
The species overwinters as pupae after a larval stage from mid-August to early October.[3][4] Adults fly in a single generation from late July to late August[3] or September.[4] Larvae are known to feed on Solidago virgaurea, the European goldenrod.[3][4] In the eastern part of Eupithecia groenblomi's range,[a] the larval host plant could be another species of Solidago.[4]
Adults of Eupithecia groenblomi have grey fore- and hindwings that lack strong markings,[4] and a wingspan of 14.5–24 mm.[3] It resembles several other species in its genus, such as Eupithecia trisignaria,[3] Eupithecia virgaureata[3][4] and Eupithecia selinata.[4]
