Remarks.
E. cinerea
was not included in the catalogue of the
Lepidoptera
of
Russia
(Sinev
et al.
2022), but it is actually known from
Dagestan
since its original description. Staudinger (1879) described this species based on several specimens. The author referred to specimens (from collection of J. Lederer), originating from
Lebanon
(
Beirut
) and
Cyprus
, and also to
one specimen
from Derbent (Dagestan). The range of
E. cinerea
needs clarification with very desirable revision of this taxon; also, morphological differences between
E. cinerea
and
Eurhodope incompta
(Zeller, 1847)
are to be studied. In Dagestan, the species inhabits dry stony steppe (
Figs 2, 4
). In Turkestan Province of
Kazakhstan
,
E. cinerea
is a widely distributed and common species which occurs in mountain habitats and also in different
types
of semi-deserts.
