Kuzmin, A. A. & Beljaev, E. A., 2017, NEW DATA ON GEOMETRID MOTHS (LEPIDOPTERA: GEOMETRIDAE) FROM AMURSKAYA OBLAST, Far Eastern Entomologist 348, pp. 1-14 : 6-7

Photoscotosia atrostrigata (Bremer, 1864)

MATERIAL. Amurskaya oblast : Blagoveshchensk, 4.IX 2016, 2 ♂ .

DISTRIBUTION. Russia (Amurskaya oblast, Khabarovskii krai, Primorskii krai,

Sakhalin Island, Kunashir and Shikotan Islands), China, Korea, Japan. Far Eastern subboreal-subtropical forest species.

NOTES. Previously this species was recorded as probably occurring in Amurskaya oblast (Mironov et al., 2008; Beljaev, 2016). Our material confirm the present of Ph. atrostrigata in this region of Russia. Reports of this species from

Siberia, namely " Gorno-Altai region " and " Tuva region " (Mironov et al., 2008;

Belyaev et al., 2010; Beljaev, 2011b; Vasilenko et al., 2013; Beljaev, 2016), are based on the misprint in the first cited publication. Thus, distribution of Ph. atrostrigata in Russia is limited by the southern regions of the Russian Far East only.
