MATERIAL. Irkutskaya oblast : Irkutsk, 21.VII 2009, 1♀ , E. Berlov [ EB]; Angarsky distr., 20 km SW of Angarsk, Galaktika tourist camp, 52º25ʹN, 103º37ʹE, 9.VIII 2013, 1♀ ;

Irkutsk distr., 12 km S of Irkutsk, Lavrentievo non-commercial gardening partnership,

DISTRIBUTION. Russia: NW European part, Ural, W Siberia, S Siberia ( Kemerovskaya oblast, Altaisky krai, Altai Republic, Khakassia, S Irkutskaya oblast, Buryatia, Zabaikalsky krai), Far East ( Amurskaya oblast , Khabarovsky krai, Primorsky krai, Kunashir Island ) ;

Europe (except S), Central China, Korea, Japan ( Hokkaido).

NOTES. Here S. virginalis for the first time is reliably given for Irkutskaya oblast. The examined specimens belong to subspecies S. virginalis nivearia (Leech, 1897) , which spreads from Ural to Japan (Beljaev, 2016). The find of this species in Irkutskaya oblast closes the South Siberian gap in its range.
