“ Eubolia murinaria S.V.”: Erschov & Field, 1870: 167.

Tephrina murinaria: Djakonov, 1926: 64 ; Wehrli, 1929: 26; Gordeeva & Gordeev, 2007: 139; Mironov et al., 2008: 196 (region 27 “?”).

Tephrina murinaria uralica Wehrli, 1940 : Viidalepp, 1996: 76 (“S. Siberia?”).

Material examined. No specimens were found from the study area. Krasnoyarsky Kray: Minusinsk, 22. V.1924, 2♂; s. loc., 21. V.1924, 1♂; s. loc., 24. V .1924 , 1♂, Filipjev [ ZIN].

Distribution. Euro-Siberian, subboreal. European part of Russia, Caucasus, Crimea, southern Ural, Western Siberia, southern part of Krasnoyarsky Kray,? Tuva,?Irkutskaya Oblast,? Buryatia. Outside Russia in N Morocco, S Turkey, Europe, Ukraine, Transcaucasia, Central Asia, N Kazakhstan, Mongolia.

Hostplants: in Europe different species of Fabaceae : Medicago , Trifolium , Onobrychis , Vicia ( Skou & Sihvonen 2015) .

Note. The specimens which were recorded by Gordeeva & Gordeev (2007) in Buryatia presumably belong to I. kaszabi , however, I. murinaria might be found in the westernmost part of Irkutskaya Oblast, since it resides in the vicinity of Minusinsk.
