Eupithecia segregata is a moth in the family Geometridae. It is found in Oregon, Arizona and California.
The wingspan is about 17 mm. It is a variable species. The basal half of the forewings is suffused with smoky shading, bordered outwardly by an irregular line passing through the discal streak. Beyond this, there is a broad, white, subterminal band, crossed by a faint, median, dark hair line. The terminal area is suffused with smoky in the apical half and again above the tornus. The hindwings are largely pale with a small, dark, basal patch and a moderately broad smoky terminal border. In another form, the forewings are entirely suffused with smoky grey.[3] In coastal regions, adults are on wing from late February to April, but at higher altitudes in the Sierras, the flight time lasts till June.
