Zaranga tukuringra Streltzov & Yakovlev, 2007

( Figs 5–8 , 15–19 , 22, 23 )

Zaranga tukuringra Streltzov & Yakovlev, 2007: 24 ; figs 1–5 (male genitalia), 6 (female genitala); pl. 2: 7–9 (moths); TL: Russia, Amurskaya oblast, foothills of the Tukuringra Range, Zeyskii state nature reserve, “kordon [blockhouse] 52nd km”.

Material. Russia, Amurskaya oblast , Zeyskii District , Zeyskii State Nature Reserve , kordon [blockhouse] Tyoplyi , 53°51’15.9”N, 127°21’34.0”E, on light, 17.06.201 7, A.A. Kuzmin legit—3♂, 1♀; ditto, Skovorodinskii District, 5 km south of Urusha town, 53°59’56”N, 122°53’08”E, 22.06.201 9, A.A. Kuzmin legit—1♂ [new locality] .

Genetic data ( Tab. 1 , Fig. 24 ). Barcode of Z. tukuringra differs from Z. koreana on 1.9–2.4% p-distance and from Zaranga sp. from Yunnan on 5.3–5.7% p-distance. Intraspecific barcode ranges up to 0.5% (three samples from two distant localities).

Distribution. Russia (central and western Amurskaya oblast); probably extreme NE China (Bolshoi Khingan Range; see Discussion below) ( Fig. 25 ).

Larval hostplants. Leaves of Cornus alba L. ( Cornaceae ) in Zeyskii Nature Reserve ( Dubatolov et al. 2013).

Note. The original description of Z. tukuringra by Streltzov & Yakovlev (2007) is quite comprehensive, but small corrections need to be made. In the illustration of the wing venation (fig. 1, obviously male), on the forewing veins, R 1 –Rs2 and the posterior portion of the discal vein are lacking, and on the hindwing veins, R 1, 1A+2A and 3A are also lacking, but the plica on the place of the reduced CuP is drawn as a vein. Male and female wing venation of Z. tukuringra , see Figs 9 & 10 in the present paper. The valva is flipped 180 degrees ( Fig. 5 in the cited article). Apophyses posteriores are missed on the drawing of the female genitalia ( Fig. 6 , ibid) and in the text. In the text, latero-anterior extensions of lamella postvaginalis are misidentified as the apophyses anteriores. The signum is considered to be lacking, but present, as in Z. koreana and Z. pannosa . Photos of the male and female genitalia of Z. tukuringra see Figs 15–19 and 22–23 in the present paper.

FIGURE 24. Pairwise distances tree for samples of the genus Zaranga based on the mtDNA CO1gene barcode region, computed using the Kimura 2-parameter method. Bootstrap tests (1000 replicates) are shown next to the branches.

FIGURE 25. Distribution of species of the genus Zaranga. The color fill shows general areas of the Zaranga species and subspecies (see Legend in the map); hatching shows supposed parts of areas. The collecting localities are given for Zaranga koreana in Korea by squares and for Zaranga tukuringra by circles; black figures indicate the new data, and white figures indicate the literature data.An asterisk marks the type localities for both species. Locality Urusha for Zaranga tukuringra is pointed by an arrow. The areas of Zaranga except the Z. tukuringra and Korean populations of Zaranga koreana are compiled from Schintlmeister (1989) and Rybalkin & Yakovlev (2017); the area of Zaranga pannosa pannosa is extended to the east following the assumption made in this article.
