"At 8 PM we began to go downwards [from Arseniev Mt.] to Mt. Tsogugda. Kononov returned soon after staying in rocks, and showed me insects collected by him. Among common and rather small species I saw also a big black moth with yellow elongate spots. After looking carefully I determined it as Callimorpha menetriesii. I was very happy because have known that it is one of the most rare north species with peculiar distribution. Later, after returning from expedition, I have received an answer of Prof. S.S.Tschetverikov according this record: "The most amazing for me was a discovery of Callimorpha menetriesii on Arseniev Mt. What a homeless and rambling thing it is! Look at this: It was described on a single specimen from Dzhungaria [Songoria], probably from Tarbagatai, where I vainly tried to find it in 1904; lastly I have received one specimen from Yakutsk suburbs - very far away; then a report appeared that one specimen of this moth was caught in Central Finland (!!), and, finally, it was found in Sikhote-Alin Mts. during your expedition! Where is the home of this species? Where can one go to catch a series for studying individual and subspecific variability?!"

Species like Callimorpha menetriesii that have strongly and far away disrupted distribution of formerly continuous and vast distribution territory look to be examples and evidence not only the species formation, but also they are eyewitness of past evolution of biocenoses and landscapes. Such species with disrupted distribution are common in southern subtropical countries. But they are much rarer in temperate and cold regions. Causes of such gaps in Arcto-Alpine species distribution, like in Callmorpha menetriesii, are very complicated and expect additional and new investigations.﻿"},
