This species was recorded for Southern Siberia (Altai and Sajan Mts.) and
Mongolia
by
Dietze (1913, incl. Taf. 85, figs 903, 904)
and
Vojnits (1975
,
1977
) as
E. undata
Freyer
and
E. pygmaeata
Hübner. Subsequently
, it was recorded as
E. fennoscandica
in
Viidalepp & Soljanikov (1977)
,
Vojnits (1981)
and
Mironov (1989a)
.
Viidalepp (1974)
rightly mentioned that the male genitalia of all species of this group, such as
E. undata
Freyer
,
E. fennoscandica
Knaben
,
E. leptogrammata
Staudinger
(=
E. melanochroa
Wehrli
), and
E. lafontaineata
, the sole north American representative of the group, are very similar to each other and only the female genitalia have very good characteristic features.
