Description

Eilicrinia wehrlii Djakonov

(Fig. 5)

Eilicrinia wehrlii: Beljaev 2016: 524 (Sakhalin).

Eilicrinia nuptaria, nec Bremer: Viidalepp 1979: 795 (Sakhalin); Viidalepp 1996: 69 (Sakhalin?).

Material examined. 1 ♂, “ Saghalien, Konuma [Novoaleksandrovsk], 28.V.1929, leg. K. Tamanuki ”; 1 ♂ “ Chertov most”, 2.VI.2015; 1 ♀, Kholmsk, downtown area, 13.VII.2015; 1 ♂, 4 ♀, S Kholmsk: 07.VI.2017, 2, 3.VII.2017, 27, 30.VI.2017.

Distribution. Russia (S RFE: S Sakhalin, S Kurils—Kunashir, S Khabarovskii Krai, S Amurskaya Oblast, Primorskii Krai), Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu), North Korea, South Korea, NE China.

Remarks. The host plants of E. wehrli are various species of Ulmus (Ulmaceae), of which Ulmus davidiana subsp. japonica is widespread in S Sakhalin. The moths occurred from late May to mid-July. The finding of E. wehrlii in Sakhalin significantly expand its general distribution range to the northeast. The reports of similar continental species E. nuptaria from Sakhalin are probably based on an erroneous identification of E. wehrlii.
