Eupithecia brandti is a moth in the family Geometridae. It is found in Iran (Fars).[2]

The wingspan is about 17 mm. The forewings are light ochreous, but the medial area is darker, rather light brown with broad antemedial and postmedial transverse lines divided by a whitish medial fascia. The hindwings are paler, with a broad brownish yellow postmedial line and a light ochreous terminal area.

Etymology[edit]

The species is named in honour of the brothers Fred and Wilhelm Brandt.
