Notes.
This species is known from
Lebanon
and
Cyprus
. It has not hitherto been recorded from
Turkey
.
E. dubiosa
belongs to the
interruptofasciata
species-group, and is externally rather similar to
E. abbreviata
Stephens, 1831
and
E. dodoneata
Guenée, 1858
. It appears have two generations one in spring and the other in autumn. I have found in the collection of Budapest Museum one small female specimen with an indistinct pattern on all wings, which was captured in the end of September. The genitalia of this specimen are distinct from those of European representatives of the
interruptofasciata
group, and are similar to genitalia first illustrated and described for
E. dubiosa
by Hausmann (1995).
