Agapanthia (Amurobia) amurensis Kraatz, 1879

Literature data. Sükhbaatar: 9 km WSW of Dariganga [Дарьганга], sands of Moltsog-Els [пески Молцог-Элс] [45.269, 113.737]. 08.07.1971, 1 ex. ( Namhaidorzh 1976a) .

Remarks. Agapanthia amurensis is distributed between Baikal and the Pacific Ocean coast, including Transbaikal, the Ussuri-Primor’e region, northern Mongolia, northeast China, the Korean peninsula, and Japan ( Cherepanov 1991a).

This species is similar to Agapanthia pilicornis (Fabricius, 1787) , however, it can be easily distinguished inter alia by colourless (not variegated) antennae and lighter body colour ( Cherepanov 1991a).

According to Cherepanov (1991a), this species inhabits meadows and open forest clearances, and it is ecologically associated with Galatella dahurica DC. (Asteraceae) and Astragalus membranaceus Moench (= Astragalus trimestris L.) ( Fabaceae ). The adults are active from the end of May or early June to August.
