Abraxas latifasciata Warren, 1894

Figs 12 , 17, 18

MATERIAL. Primorsky Krai: Khasansky District, Barabash vill. vicinity (43.183673 N, 131.495206 E), at light, 6–7.VIII 2022, 3 ♂, leg. I. Makhov ; Khasansky District, Krabbe peninsula, recreation centre (42.599230 N, 130.903876 E), at light, 20.VIII 2022, 1 ♂, leg. I. Makhov.

NOTE. Confirmation for Primorsky Krai. Abraxas latifasciata was previously indicated for Southern Primorye ( Wehrli, 1939) as Abraxas suspecta japanibia and Abraxas suspecta latifasciata , however, the material was unavailable and this indication required confirmation ( Beljaev, 2016). Reliable identification of a number of East Asian Abraxas species is possible only with using genitalia features. It is likely that specimens of A. latifasciata in earlier collections may have been incorrectly identified.
