Barcoding.
Two identical barcodes were obtained from the specimens with CaBOL-IDs 1020718 and 1025481 (
BOLD
: ACY 0805), identical to
E. decolor
from
the Netherlands
with a private status in
BOLD
Systems.
Remarks.
From the neighboring countries,
E. decolor
has been previously reported from
Iran
(
Linnavuori and Modarres 1999
;
Linnavuori 2007
). Its range extends from Western Europe (including
Great Britain
,
France
, and
Spain
) to Western Asia (including
Iran
), and its distribution is considered to be Holarctic in general (
Kerzhner and Josifov 1999
;
Aukema et al. 2013
). The species is found on
Artemisia
, commonly referred to as a host plant (
Linnavuori 2007
;
Protić 2020
).
