''Erannis tiliaria'', the linden looper, also known under the rather ambiguous name "winter moth," is a moth of the family Geometridae. It is found from central Alberta east to Nova Scotia, south to Missouri, Georgia, Utah and Texas.

''Erannis vancouverensis'' was considered to be a subspecies of ''E. tiliaria'' for some time, but appears to be a separate species.

The wingspan is 32–42 mm for males. Females are wingless. Adult males are on wing in late fall.
