Ecliptopera pryeri (Butler, 1881) Material. Andreevskii Cordon, at light, 29.09.2022 — 1♀; Danilovskii Cordon, at light, 23– 24.09.2022 — 1♂. Distribution. Russia (S RFE: SW Sakhalin, S Kurils — Kunashir and?Iturup);?S Korea, Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu). Remarks. Appearing of moths in Japan is not clarified (Nakajima, Yazaki 2011); in Sakhalin and the Kurils they occur from mid-July to beginning of November (Beljaev, Titova 2023). Larval hostplant is unknown. As a result of long history of confusion of E. pryeri and Ecliptopera silaceata (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775) in East Asia, old indications of both species here need to be verified (Beljaev 2016: 616–617).
