Summary: | Eulithis achatinellaria (Oberthür) (Fig. 35) Eulithis achatinellaria : Beljaev & Mironov 2019: 264 (Sakhalin). Material examined. 1 ♂, Krasnaya Tym, 23.VIII.2001; 1 ♂, Slavy, 22.VIII.2001; 1 ♀, Vestochka, 31.VIII.2001. Distribution. Russia (S RFE: S and central Sakhalin, S Kurils—Kunashir and Shikotan, S Khabarovskii Krai, S Amurskaya Oblast, Primorskii Krai; S Yakutia, S and W Siberia), Japan (Hokkaido), North Korea, South Korea (Jeju), China (NE, N, Western Plateau), Mongolia. In Beljaev (2016: 416), the distribution of E. achatinellaria in “Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, Tsushima, Yakushima, Okinawa” is given erroneously as a result of a misprint. Remarks. The new localities significantly expand the general distribution range of E. achatinellaria to the northeast. The known host plants of the larvae of this species in Yakutia are Salix (Salicaceae) and Ribes (Grossulariaceae) (Burnasheva 2011); probably, they are polyphagous on low deciduous trees and shrubs. Until now, some authors consider E. achatinellaria as a subspecies of E. testata (Linnaeus) (from recent major publications— Nakajima & Yazaki 2011; Hausmann & Viidalepp 2012; Kim et al. 2016), although the clear morphological differences of these species were shown by Djakonov (1926) and Viidalepp (1987). Both species are present in Sakhalin: E. achatinellaria is known to the north up to Tymovskii District, whereas boreal E. testata —immediately northward of the latter, in Noglinskii and Okhinskii Districts (Beljaev 2001), and along the cool Sea of Okhotsk shore—on southward to Dolinskii district near the Starodubskoye village (47°24 N, 142°49′ E, “Sakayehama”: Matsumura 1925, as Lygris testata karafutonis Matsumura; current taxonomic status of the latter see in Beljaev 2016: 613), and in the extreme south-east of Sakhalin in the Korsakov urban district near Muravyovo village (46°30′ N, 143°18′ E, “Muravjovo”: Kurina 2022c). Preferred habitats of the both species are different: E. testata usually inhabits the cool mesophytic and hygrophytic ... |
