Figs 1, 4

Bleptina spacoalis Walker, 1859: 872 (type locality: North China).

MATERIAL. Russia: Primorskii krai, Khasan District, Zarubino village, 42°39' N ,

131°04' E, 23.VII 2020, 1♀, leg. V . Golovizin [ EK].

DISTRIBUTION. Russia (new record): Primorskii krai. – Japan: Hokkaido, Honshu,

Shikoku, and Kyushu Islands; North and South Korea; China (Inoue et al., 1982; Kononenko et al., 1998).

REMARKS. Bleptina spacoalis differs from the similar B. bistrigata (Staudinger, 1888)

(also distributed in the southern part of the Russian Far East) by a wavy medial line on forewing and absence of reniform spot. The specimen of B. spacoalis collected in Khasan

District is presumably a migrant from more southern regions.
