REMARKS. Both the genus Hypospila Guenée, 1852 and the species H. bolinoides are reported from Russia for the first time. This species is widely distributed in the tropics of

South and Southeast Asia, as well as in Australasia. In the north it reaches South Korea and

Japan, where it is considered a vagrant species. Without a doubt, a specimen collected in the south of Primorsky krai is also migrating from the more southern regions of Asia. The host plants are Derris species (Fabaceae) (Holloway, 2005). Species of this genus grow in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, South and Southeast Asia, and Australasia. The northernmost species in Asia is D. fordii Oliver , which reaches to the north the Zhejiang

Province in Eastern China (Dezhao & Pedley, 2010). The northernmost records of H.

bolinoides in China are located a little further north, in Shandong Province (Kendrick et al.,

2004). Thus, Eastern China is the location of the nearest native populations of H. bolinoides ,

which may produce migratory specimens to Russian Far East and Korea.
