Material examined: 12 ♁/ ♀ (see appendix).
Diagnosis. Wingspan ♁ ♀ 24–30 mm (Hausmann 2004). Ground colour ( Plate 7, Figs 9–10) light grey to darker grey, transversal lines diffuse. In Iran Scopula incanata can externally be confused only with S. marginepunctata . Therefore, here these two species are diagnosed based on their genitalia characters. In the male genitalia 8th sternite basally convex, cerata medium sized (sternite basally shallow, cerata absent in S. marginepunctata ) (see Plate 17 View PLATE 17 , Figs 1–2).
In the female genitalia antrum with triangular or pentagonal sclerite (with triangular or half-moon shaped sclerite in S. marginepunctata ). Lamella antevaginalis strongly sclerotized, oval (with transverse fold in S. marginepunctata ) (see Plate 25 View PLATE 25 , Figs 1–2).
Phenology. In central Europe generally bivoltine species, from early-May to mid-September, depending on good conditions trivoltine (Hausmann 2004). Investigated specimens in Iran were collected from March to August.
Biology. Larva polyphagous on a wide range of plant species of different families (e.g., Polygonaceae , Rosaceae , Fabaceae ) (see Hausmann 2004).
Habitat. From 0 m to 1400 m, to 2000 m in southern Alps and to 2300 m in southern Europe (Hausmann 2004). Investigated specimens in Iran were collected from 19 m to 2700 m.
Distribution. Widely distributed in Europe (Hausmann 2004). Also distributed in Turkey, the Caucasus, Transcaucasus, Siberia, northern Kazakhstan and Mongolia (Hausmann 2004; Makhov 2023). Report for northern Iran was still pending ( Viidalepp 1996; Hausmann 2004) but here we can confirm the occurrence of this species for the northern parts of Iran (see Map 9). Reported in the literature also for the province Tehran ( Schwingenschuss 1939).
DNA-barcoding. Nearest species: S. scalercii with 6.1 % (see Supplementary Table S1).
