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. The known host plants of the larvae are Larix sibirica, L. gmelinii, and Pinus pumila ( Pinaceae), but the species occurs also on the territories lacking these trees but having Pinus sylvestris instead. Most northern habitat of a similar and, possibly, closely related species, Macaria fuscaria (Leech), is known from near Makarov (Beljaev 2001), about 300 km south of Nysh, in a more southern subzone of prevail dark coniferous forests with dominating of spruce.
