Description
Macaria continuaria (Eversmann)
(Fig. 16)
Macaria continuaria: Beljaev & Mironov 2019: 251 (Sakhalin).
Material examined. 1 ♂, Nysh, 12.VIII.2001.
Distribution. Russia (RFE: central Sakhalin; Khabarovskii Krai, Amurskaya Oblast, Primorskii Krai;?S Yakutia, S and W Siberia), N Mongolia.
Remarks. The finding of M. continuaria in Sakhalin significantly expand its distribution range to the east. This East Siberian species was found in a subzone with dominating of larch forests. The known host plants of the larvae are Larix sibirica, L. gmelinii, and Pinus pumila (Pinaceae), but the species occurs also on the territories lacking these trees but having Pinus sylvestris instead. Most northern habitat of a similar and, possibly, closely related species, Macaria fuscaria (Leech), is known from near Makarov (Beljaev 2001), about 300 km south of Nysh, in a more southern subzone of prevail dark coniferous forests with dominating of spruce.
