Republic of Sakha (Yakutia): “Jablonevoj (Gebge). Jukutsk-Geb.”, 23.IV.1915, 3 ♁; same loc., 24.IV.1915, 1 ♁, 1 ♀, W. Kozhantshikov; “Yakut expedition of Academy of Sciences, Aldan river, near the estuary of Tymiton river”, 11. V.1926, 1 ♁, Zaykov [ZIN]. Khabarovsky Kray: “near riv. Chelasin, 25–30 versts [unlegible] Stanovoy Range, Ayan–Nel’kan expedition, end of April–beginning of May 1903 ”, 1 ♁; “56 versts, 20.IV.10” [flew over the snow], 1 ♁; “68 versts, [unlegible], 21.IV.10”, 2 ♁; “57 versts, 21.IV.10”, 2 ♁, Popov [ZIN]. Amurskaya Oblast: “Zeya river”, no date, 2 ♁, unknown collector; “ Amur expedition of Gondatti, detachment of Prokhorov, placer on the left shore of riv.?Unaka [=Unakha]”, 29.IV.1911, 1 ♁, Nikiforov [ZIN].
Distribution. Uralian–Far Eastern, boreal. From Polar Urals to Kamchatka and Primorye. Outside Russia: Mongolia.
Hostplants: unknown. Caterpillars of the nearest species L. brephoides (Walker, 1857) feed on Betula, Alnus, Populus and Salix (Beljaev 2016).
Genetic note. There were not available material for DNA barcoding from the Baikal region, however, I have obtained the sequence from Altaian specimen (see “Material examined”). It differs from COI of L. brephoides (inhabits the boreal zone of North America) by 3.2–3.4%.
