Remarks.

From the neighboring countries, E. decolor has been previously reported from Iran (Linnavuori and Modarres 1999; Linnavuori 2007). Its range extends from Western Europe (including Great Britain, France, and Spain) to Western Asia (including Iran), and its distribution is considered to be Holarctic in general (Kerzhner and Josifov 1999; Aukema et al. 2013). The species is found on Artemisia, commonly referred to as a host plant (Linnavuori 2007; Protić 2020).
