It is found in Europe, north-west Africa, Asia from Turkey, Iran and Syria [1] to Siberia and the western part of China (Hunan). The subspecies E. lacustrata persica is found in Iran and Armenia.

The wingspan is 16–18 mm. The forewings are grey whitish, sometimes mixed with light ochreous-yellowish, sprinkled with black. Pale central fascia and black-brown antemedial and subterminal cross-lines edged with yellowish white.

The moth flies from May to August depending on the location.

<i>Eudonia</i> Genus of moths

Eudonia is a large and widespread genus in the grass moth family (Crambidae), subfamily Scopariinae. There is no common name for the roughly 250 species placed here; new species are still being described regularly. Although the genus was proposed early in the 19th century, many of these moths were for a long time retained in Scoparia, the type genus of the subfamily and a close relative of Eudonia. A few small genera have been proposed for separation from Eudonia, but given the size of this group this is not particularly convincing; thus, all are retained here pending a comprehensive phylogenetic review.
