Other material. Spain: Granada, Sierra Nevada, 20 km SE. Granada, 27. VII.2003, 1 ♂, T. Nupponen leg., L. Kaila prep. 5354, DNA sample 11423 Lepid. Phyl. (Coll. Nupponen); Granada, Sierra Nevada, 20 km SE Granada, 2700–2900 m, 11. VII.2010, 1 ♂, T. Nupponen leg., L. Kaila prep. 5355, DNA sample 15484 Lepid. Phyl. (Coll. Nupponen).

Diagnosis. E. anitella is a small species. It closely resembles E. parvula, from which the shorter digitate process of E. anitella readily separates it. Its phallus is shorter than the valva, narrow, and hardly tapered towards apex. Its uncus lobes are rounded, as long as their width.

Biology. Unknown.

Distribution. Spain.

Remarks. E. anitella is referred to as OTU 17 in Mutanen et al. (2015).
