description
Genetic data. The COI barcode of a single specimen identified as virilis (GenBank accession EU 084002, from Germany) diverges from the next nearest of other dolichura group species by approximately 4.9 % (see also Nyman et al. 2007). However, newer COI sequences of dolichura group larvae collected from S. purpurea (which should therefore be E. virilis), locate at two different positions in the tree (Nyman, unpublished). Bionomics. Host plants: Salix purpurea (Kopelke 1994), S. viminalis × purpurea (Beneš 2015 a). Biology: Kopelke (1985, as P. dolichura), Zirngiebl (1955).
distribution
Distribution. North Africa (Morocco: Lacourt 1999), through most of South and Central Europe (Taeger et al. 2006), north to Schleswig-Holstein in Germany (Blank et al. 2001) and Estonia (Taeger et al. 2006). Occurrence in Sweden: no records from Fennoscandia, but presence in southern Sweden possible.
