Sakhalin
, S Khabarovskii Krai, Primorskii Krai),
Japan
(
Hokkaido
, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, Tsushima),
South Korea
,
China
(NE, N, Central, SW).
Remarks.
The finding of
X. hortensiaria
in
Sakhalin
significantly expands its distribution range to the northeast. Ecologically it is associated with dry meadows. In
Sakhalin
it develops in two generations, the moths fly in late May—June, and in August. The hostplant of the larvae is unknown.
In BOLD, the specimen of “
Xanthorhoe hortensiaria
” from
China
,
Jilin
(BIN ID: ACJ3928, sequence ID: GWOTL1007-13; also in GBIF, occurrence 1415542476) in the wing pattern and size corresponds to
Xanthorhoe evae
Viidalepp & Remm, 1982
(=
Xanthorhoe separata
Inoue, 2004
, it was synonymized by
Beljaev 2016: 600
), which is distributed in RFE (S Sakhalin, S Khabarovskii Krai, Primorskii Krai) and
Japan
(
Hokkaido
). We indicate
X. evae
for
China
for the first time. Ecologically, this specoes is closely associated with coniferous forests and prefers mountainan habitats.
