Arcte coerula

Description

Arcte coerula (Guenée, 1852)

MATERIAL. Russia: Kunashir Island, Andreevskii kordon, 16-18.X, 21-22.X 2022, 2 ♂, 1 ♀.

DISTRIBUTION. In Russia a vagrant species, known from Middle Amur, Primorskii krai, and Southern Sakhalin; usually worn overwintered migrant females appear in June and Early July; a new generation appears from local caterpillars in mid- late August, and continue flying to October (Kononenko, 2010). Most probably, the same life cycle takes part in Sakhalin and Kuhashir. So, including the species in the Red Book List of Sakhalinskaya oblast was not correct.

REMARK. Three specimens were attached by gyle wine with sugar; one male was found in a wooden lavatory.
