Host plants. Asteraceae : Artemisia absinthium L. and A. campestris L., A. marschalliana Spreng. ( Korotyaev et al. 2001) .

Remarks. Baris ussuriensis was synonymised with Ulobaris kuchenbeisseri (Hartmann, 1899) by Prena et al. (2014c). Ulobaris kuchenbeisseri was placed in the genus Ulobaris Reitter, 1895 . Prena et al. (2014c) has indicated that the character of a third tarsomere is barely wider than the second. Ulobaris kuchenbeisseri is shown in Figure 15 ( Prena et al. 2014c). It species differs from Baris ussuriensis in the punctation of the pronotum and its shape. Therefore, Baris ussuriensis is not Ulobaris kuchenbeisseri and should be considered in the genus Baris , where it was described ( Zaslavskij 1956). The specimens of Baris ussuriensis from Eastern Siberia and Primorskii Krai do not differ significantly from those of Baris nesapia . Therefore, Baris ussuriensis Zaslavskij, 1956 , syn. nov. and B. pseudospitzyi Zaslavskij, 1956 , syn. nov. are synonyms of Baris nesapia . Types of B. ussuriensis and B. pseudospitzyi from the collection of the Zoological Institute RAS were studied.

The presence of Ulobaris kuchenbeisseri in the Russian fauna needs to be confirmed.
