MALE. Unknown.
Material examined
. Two females,
RUSSIA
: Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Purovsky District, vicinity of Urengoy, from mosses on soil,
28 July 2014
, coll. E.A. Bragin.
Remarks
. This species was described from lichens on rocks in Alpine County, Luther Pass, Hwy.
89 in
the
U.S.A.
(
Chaudhri 1965
). This is a new record of
E. parvisetus
from Eurasia.
