Diagnosis. E. maboulella has distally grey forewing fringe scales, unless worn. Similar fringe is present only in E. disemiella . The male genitalia of these species are similar, differing by the setae on the juxta lobes: E. disemiella has several distinct setae, whereas E. maboulella has none, or at most, a few very small ones. The female genitalia of these species differ by the shape of the corpus bursae which is oval in E. disemiella ; divided into two portions, the anterior one possibly a dilated appendix bursae, in E. maboulella .

Biology. Bivoltine. The species inhabits dry, xerothermic habitats.

Distribution. Algeria, Tunisia, Spain.

Remarks. The type locality of E. maboulella is Algeria, Biskra, Gafsa. The female lectotype is in Musée Nationale d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, designated and illustrated by Parenti (1972). The characterization of E. maboulella by Traugott-Olsen is based on male paralectotypes and represents E. glaseri .

The illustration of the male genitalia of E. bazaella by Traugott-Olsen (1992) is not drawn from the holotype, and is not conspecific with it. The holotype is identical with E. maboulella . E. maboulella is referred to as OTU 13 in Mutanen et al. (2015).
