Distribution.

,
Primorsky region
;
China
(including
Taiwan)
;
Korea
;
Japan
(
Schintlmeister 2008
; Chistyakov, Dubatolov 2016).
Remarks.
Schintlmeister (2008)
reports this species in the
Khabarovsk region
(
Khabarovsk
) and the south-west of the
Jewish
Autonomous region without providing any further details.
V
. Dubatolov writes that he is not aware of any finds of
Ph. assimilis
from around
Khabarovsk
(
Dubatolov et al. 2013
). In the "Annotated catalogue of the insects of Russian Far East", the distribution of
Ph. assimilis
in the
Khabarovsk region
is questioned (Chistyakov, Dubatolov 2016). The second edition of the Catalogue of the
Lepidoptera
of
Russia
indicates that, within
Russia
, this species is only distributed in the
Primorsky region
(
Matov, Dubatolov 2019
). Thus, new finds from the Bikin district confirm
Ph. assimilis
’s presence in the south of the
Khabarovsk region
.
