Nupponen et al. (2015) melden die Art aus dem Südural erstmals für Europa: "Russia, S Ural, 55º 01’ N 60º 06’ E, 350 m a.s.l., Cheliabinsk district, Miass, Ilmen State Reserve, forest steppe, 25-V-1998, 1 ♀, T. & K. Nupponen leg.; Ibidem, 19-V-1999, 1 ♂, K. Nupponen leg. Distribution: Russia (Altai Mts., S Ural).

Remarks: The species was hitherto known only by a few specimens from the Altai Mts., S Siberia. The present records are the first ones from the Urals and Europe. Records of E. chrysopyga (Zeller, 1844) reported from Miass (Olschwang et al., 2004) refer to E. zaguljaevi."
