Notes. This little known and rare Asian species was described on the basis of a single male from Siberia without any mention of locality. The holotype us marked with an original label “Ustkam.” or Ust-Kamenogorsk. This Russian town goes back to 1720 and is now located in the territory of eastern Kazakhstan. E. despectaria has been recorded also from Mongolia, Russia (Altai Mts.), NW China (Kuldja), Kirghizstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. It has not been previously recorded from Asia Minor. The two known Turkish specimens have less elongated wings than the holotype. The male and female genitalia are very characteristic in this species. The genitalia of E. despectaria were briefly described and the bursa copulatrix was illustrated in Viidalepp (1988).
