Material. Yuzhno-Kurilsk, 13.09.2022 — VO; Danilovskii Cordon, at light, 15.09.2022 1 ind. VO; ibid, 16.09.2022 — 1♂ .

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.
