The finding of V. semistrigata in Sakhalin significantly expands its distribution range to the northeast. In appearance, the specimens from this island, as well as from Kunashir (Rybalkin et al. 2022, fig. 38), differ from the continental ones and are similar to those from Hokkaido in having moderately expressed and some brownish traverse lines on the wings and a very light brown stripe outward from the black postmedial line between the veins R and CuA1 on the forewing.
