MATERIAL. Irkutskaya oblast : Irkutsk, 21.VII 2009, 1♀ , E. Berlov [ EB]; Angarsky distr., 20 km SW of Angarsk, Galaktika tourist camp, 52º25ʹN, 103º37ʹE, 9.VIII 2013, 1♀ ;

Irkutsk distr., 12 km S of Irkutsk, Lavrentievo non-commercial gardening partnership,

DISTRIBUTION. Russia: NW European part, Ural, W Siberia, S Siberia (Kemerovskaya oblast, Altaisky krai, Altai Republic, Khakassia, S Irkutskaya oblast, Buryatia, Zabaikalsky krai), Far East ( Amurskaya oblast , Khabarovsky krai, Primorsky krai, Kunashir Island ) ;

Europe (except S), Central China, Korea, Japan (Hokkaido).

NOTES. Here S. virginalis for the first time is reliably given for Irkutskaya oblast. The examined specimens belong to subspecies S. virginalis nivearia (Leech, 1897) , which spreads from Ural to Japan (Beljaev, 2016). The find of this species in Irkutskaya oblast closes the South Siberian gap in its range.
