The betulicola group 6. Stigmella betulicola (Stainton, 1856) Nepticula betulicola Stainton, 1856: 42. Host-plants. Betula humilis Schrank, B. nana L., B. pendula Roth, B. platyphylla Sukaczev var. japonica (Miq.) H. Hara, B. pubescens Ehrh. Distribution. Palaearctic. Widespread in Europe (from Ireland to north west and central European Russia and Tatarstan); recorded from the Russian Far East (Primorskiy Kray) and China to Japan (Honshu) (possibly with a continuous distribution throughout Siberia). Material examined. 13, Kamenushka, 03.vii. 1990, leg. Zakharov, gen. slide no. AG 213 (ZIN). Discussion. In East Asia this species formerly was recorded only from Japan (Kemperman & Wilkinson 1985). However, a single specimen collected in Kamenushka (Ussuriysk District, Primorskiy Kray) confirms its occurrence on continental East Asia (Figs 14–17) (new record). 7. Stigmella luteella (Stainton, 1857) Nepticula luteella Stainton, 1857: 110, 111. Host-plants. Betula pendula Roth, B. pubescens Ehrh., occasionally B. nana L. Distribution. Palaearctic. Widespread in Europe (from Ireland and Italy to northwestern and central European Russia). Known in Asia: Kazakhstan and The Russian Far East (Sakhalin) (possibly with a continuous distribution throughout Siberia) (van Nieukerken et al. 2004). 8.

Betula manshurica (Regel) Nakai, B. pendula Roth, B. platyphylla Sukaczev, B. pubescens Ehrh., B. utilis D. Don.; possibly other Betula spp. (in East Asia). Distribution. Palaearctic. Widespread in western and eastern Europe. Known from the Caucasus and eastern Asia: the Russian Far East (Primorskiy Kray and Sakhalin). Material examined. 23, Gornotayezhnoe, 05.viii. 1983, leg. R.
