Distribution.
Russia
(S of West Siberia, S Siberia, S
Jakutia
, S RFE: S Amurskaya Obl., JAO, S Khabarovskii Kr., Primorskii Kr., S
and central Sakhalin, S Kurils — Kunashir, Shikotan);
Mongolia
,
China
(NE, N, Western Plateau),
Korea
,
Japan
(
Hokkaido
). In
Beljaev (2016: 416)
, the distribution of
E. achatinellaria
in “Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, Tsushima, Yakushima,
Okinawa
” is given erroneously in result of a misprint.
Remarks.
In
Japan
moths occur in eastern
Hokkaido
from August to September in small numbers (
Nakajima, Yazaki 2011
). Known host plants of the
E. achatinellaria
larvae in Yakutia are
Salix
(
Salicaceae
) and
Ribes
(
Grossulariaceae
) (
Burnasheva 2011
); probably, as in
Eulithis testata
(Linnaeus, 1761)
, they are polyphagous on low deciduous trees and shrubs.
