 Distribution. Spain, Canary Islands, N Africa (Slamka 2013) and Iran (Amsel 1959).   
 Remarks. In the examined specimens, wings ground colour varies from pale brownish-creamy to pale ochreous and pale grayish-brown. There is an intraspecific variation among the Iranian specimens in the shape of postmedial line of the forewing, in a way that in most of them it is slightly protruded at two-thirds of its length from costal margin; while in few specimens the protrusion is not clearly distinct and the line appears smooth in this area.
