Most specimens have brown to yellowish-brown wings both in upper-and underside ( Figs 6C, D); while few of them are light brown (Figs 6A, B). Although E. comealis is very similar to E. caesialis in external view, they differ from each other in some characters of the male genitalia: (1) in E. caesialis uncus is in the shape of elongated triangle laterally (Fig. 2F); while in the same view , in all examined specimens of E. comealis, it is slightly expanded and then narrowed distally, with an oblique apex ( Figs 7A, D); (2) ventral surface of the gnathos in E. caesialis is densely toothed at distal half (Figs 2G, H) comparing to being distantly separated in E. comealis (Fig. 7D); (3) E. comealis shows two clusters of cornuti at the distal end of phallus (Figs 7A, G) in contrast to one small cluster in E. caesialis (Figs 2E, I). Considering the female genitalia, only minor variations in the length of colliculum and the shape of folded area at the posterior end of ductus bursae (Figs 5A, B, D, E, G, H) were observed in both species.

... Iran: Fars Province (Kuli Kosh), Afghanistan ( . Remarks. The external appearance and male genitalia of the examined specimens are clearly in agreement with Goater's (2005) statements, with the only exception of teeth on the ventral surface of gnathos. As stated by , a few faint indications of teeth present on the ventral surface of gnathos; while in the examined males, the small teeth at this area are distinct, extending from the apex to two-thirds of its length along the shaft (Figs 7C, F). This species could be distinguished from E. caesialis and E. comealis by the shape of uncus and gnathos, dentition of gnathos, and shape of cornuti ( Figs 2E-I, 7A, C, D, F, G, I). In E. infirmalis, uncus is duck-beak-shaped with the tip being slightly upturned, and the toothless end of gnathos is shorter than that of E. comealis (Figs 7A, C, D, F). ii.1999, Mofidi-Neyestānak, Barāri leg., 1 ♀, slightly ochre basal scales and the distal elongated pale ochre scales; proboscis covered with cream to dirty-cream scales basally with the same length as the labial palpus; antennae dorsally roofed with dirty-cream to ochreous-cream scales and densely setose ventrally, a single slightly longer seta present on dorsal and ventral surfaces of each segment; collar pale ochre; thorax and tegula ochreous-cream and paler towards the abdomen; abdomen shiny cream.

Forewing pattern same as the male, ground color ochreous-cream, with an oblique, broad gray to sandy-brown strip extended from near the apex to dorsum nearly parallel to the termen, a faded oblique ante-median line, a series of dots on nervures nearly in a regular line just next to the gray-brown strip internally and parallel to it, a faint line (sometimes a series of dots in a regular line) parallel to the ante-median line on its external side, and double discal spots; fringes cream with two shiny ochre strips parallel to the termen. Hindwing glossy yellowish-white with a light brown strip parallel to termen; fringes cream. Underside of both fore-and hindwing mostly same as the upperside, but more ...
