Distribution.
Russia
(S RFE: S Amurskaya Obl., JAO, S Khabarovskii Kr., Primorskii Kr., S
Sakhalin
, S Kurils — Kunashir, Shikotan);
China
,
Korea
,
Japan
(
Hokkaido
, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, Tsushima, Tanegashima, Yakushima, Amami Oshima).
Remarks.
A new species for Kunashir; reference of
G. fixseni
for this island in
Vasilenko, Dubatolov (2021)
is erroneous. In
Japan
moths can be seen from June to November, probably in two or three generations (
Nakajima, Yazaki 2011
). In S RFE, at northern limit of its distribution, the species develops in one generation and flies in August and September. Larvae feed on various species of
Actinidia
(
Beljaev 2016
)
, in
Japan
also on
Schizophragma hydrangeoides
(
Hydrangeaceae
) (
Nakajima, Yazaki 2011
).
