Odezia

Odezia is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae erected by Jean Baptiste Boisduval in 1840. Its only species, Odezia atrata, the chimney sweeper, was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. It is found in the Palearctic.

==Distribution== In Europe its range extends from the Iberian Peninsula through western and central Europe and the British Isles. Further east to Sakhalin and the Amur-Ussuri region. In the north, the limit is central Fennoscandia. To the south it occurs from Italy to the Balkans. In Austria, the previously mass-occurring species has become today in many places rare; many populations have disappeared.
