misidentification: faldermanni eoa: Bílý 1983a: 31 (not Obenberger 1923a) (V. Kubáň, personal communication). Host plant(s) within Iran. (Adult!) Anchusa officinalis (Boraginaceae) (Sakenin et al. 2008).

The records for Kerman, Kermanshah, Sistan & Baluchestan, Tehran (Borumand 2002), and Khorasan (Sakenin et al. 2008) are most probably misidentifications with different subspecies of J. euphratica.
