Material. ISRAEL: Mt. Meron , Ba’al-Shem-Tov f., 32°58’N 35°28’E, 13.ix.2007 (T. Levanony) ‒ 1♂ ( TAU ); Mt. Meron , Ba’al-Shem-Tov, 32°58’N 35°28’E, 13.ix.2007 (T. Levanony) ‒ 1♂ ( TAU ).

Comments. It is a poorly known species and, therefore, we provide figures of the male palp to support our identification. Until recently, E, flammeola was known from the Canary Islands to Corfu. The record from Israel is the south-easternmost in the entire range.
