Daphnusa colligata Walker, 1856: 238 . Type locality: North China.

MATERIAL EXAMINED. Russia: Primorskii krai, Ussuriisk district, Kaimanovka village, 43°38ʹ N, 132°14ʹ E, 80 m, 10–14.VI 2011, 1 ♂, leg. A.E. Kostyunin (stored in the collection of collector) GoogleMaps .

DISTRIBUTION. Russia (southern part of Primorskii krai); Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu,

Shikoku, Kyushu, Tsushima, Ryukyu); North and South Korea; China (in the north to Inner

Mongolia Autonomous Region and Jilin Province, in the south to Yunnan, Guangdong and

Hainan Provinces, in the west to Qinghai Province and Tibet Autonomous Region); Taiwan;

Philippines (Luzon); Vietnam; Laos; Cambodia; North Thailand; Myanmar (Shan State);

India (Arunachal Pradesh) (Xi et al., 2000; Pittaway & Kitching, 2000, 2017; Nakao, 2017;

Kitching, 2017).

NOTES. In its external appearance and structure of genitalia the collected in Russia male is very similar to individuals from East and South-East Asia. The specimen collected in the vicinity of Ussuriisk is probably a migrant from the adjacent territory of China. This species is described from North China without indication of exact location. The most northern locality in China is the Changbaishan Mts in Jilin Province, situated about 250 km southwest of the

Russian-Chinese border (Xi et al., 2000). The migrant origin of collected in Russia specimen may be indirectly indicated by its not good condition. There are one or two generations a year in northern China, with adults flying between May and July (Pittaway & Kitching, 2017).

Larvae feed only on plants from the mulberry family ( Moraceae ): Broussonetia papyrifera ,

B. kaempferi , B. kazinoki , Morus alba , Maclura fruticosa (Pittaway & Kitching, 2000, 2017;

Lin, 2000; Eitschberger & Ihle, 2008). Among these plants, only white mulberry ( Morus alba ) grows in cultivated in the south of the Russian Far East. White mulberry is known from the southern part of the Primorskii krai, some trees grow in Khabarovsk City. Therefore, the temporary populations of Parum colligata may be found in the south of the Russian Far East in the future.
