Notes.
Originally described from
Iran
(Brandt 1938), this species is new for the fauna of
Turkey
. It ranges also to
Afghanistan
(subsp.
terricolor
, Vojnits, 1988) and
Azerbaijan
(Mironov 2001). The male and female genitalia of
E. convallata
, belonging to the
graphata
species-group, were described and illustrated in Vojnits (1988) for the first time.
