Lobocla bifasciata (Bremer et Grey, 1853) ( Fig. 2A View Figure 2 )

Material examined. 2 ♂, Russia, Amur Oblast’, Arkharinsky district , 7 km N Tarmanchukan railway station, 49°14'14" N, 130°38'54" E, 380 m, 1.07.2021 (A.A. Kuzmin leg.) GoogleMaps .

Remarks. The species is reported for the Amur Oblast’ for the first time. The Arkharinsky district is the northernmost location in the species range. The specimens were collected in the mixed forest with Tilia amurensis , Acer pictum , Pinus koraiensis and Alnus hirsuta near the hill's top, and with Eleutherococcus senticosus and Actinidia kolomikta in the undergrowth shrub layer. It has been previously recorded in Priamurye based on sparse finds made in the southern Khabarovsk Kray (near Khabarovsk and Bikin) and Jewish Autonomous Oblast’ (near Babstovo and Soyuznoe) ( Yamauti & Novomodnyi 2000; Koshkin & Novomodnyi 2008; Koshkin 2014) ( Fig. 1 View Figure 1 ). In Priamurye, larvae presumably feed on Lespedeza bicolor ( Fabaceae ), which is widespread in the nemoral zone of the Russian Far East ( Koshkin 2012).
