Eupithecia quadripunctata is a moth in the family Geometridae. It is found in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Russia, China (Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Hebei, Henan, Heilongjiang),[2] Taiwan, Korea, Japan[3] and northern Thailand.[4]

The wingspan is about 15–25 mm. There are two generations per year. The aestival brood is much smaller than the vernal brood.[5]
