Macaria continuaria (Eversmann) (Fig. 16) Macaria continuaria: Beljaev & Mironov 2019: 251 (Sakhalin). Material examined. 1 ♂, Nysh, 12.VIII.2001. Distribution. Russia (RFE: central Sakhalin; Khabarovskii Krai, Amurskaya Oblast, Primorskii Krai;?S Yakutia, S and W Siberia), N Mongolia. Remarks. The finding of M. continuaria in Sakhalin significantly expand its distribution range to the east. This East Siberian species was found in a subzone with dominating of larch forests.
