description: <i>Ectoedemia (Ectoedemia) spiraeae</i> Gregor &amp; Povolný Fig. 108 <i>Ectoedemia jacutica</i> Puplesis, 1988b:26. Holotype ♁ Russia:okrestnosti g.[surroundings of] Yakutska, nebol’shoy sosnyak [small pine forest], 5.VII.1986, Rastorguev (ZIN). <b>Revised synonymy</b>. <b>Biology.</b> Hostplant: in Europe only <i>Spiraea media</i> F. Schmidt, in East Asia probably also on other species of <i>Spiraea</i>, although <i>S. media</i> has a large distribution throughout Siberia as far as Japan (Sokolov et al. 1980). Leafmines may be confused with those of <i>Stigmella inopinata</i> A. &amp; Z. Lašt&amp;uring;vka (Lašt&amp;uring;vka and Lašt&amp;uring;vka 1990a), they only differ in the more jagged early mine of <i>spiraeae</i> versus a straight one in <i>S. inopinata</i>. Univoltine, larvae from July to October, they appear in some years (e.g. 1990) in July after a cold spell, in other years not before September or October (Lašt&amp;uring;vka and Lašt&amp;uring;vka 1991). Adults from May to July. <b>Distribution.</b> In Europe only known from a very small area near the border of Hungary and Slovakia (see also Lašt&amp;uring;vka and Lašt&amp;uring;vka 1991), widespread in East Palaearctic. A new record from western Siberia is given here (Fig. 108). <b>Remarks.</b> Puplesis (1994) synonymised the Siberian <i>E. jacutica</i> with <i>E. agrimoniae</i>. However, study of one of the specimens shows that it is in fact identical to <i>E. spiraeae</i>, which is also clear from the original genitalia drawing (absence of carinal processes, shape gnathos, valva). Th is also fits the distribution, <i>E. spiraeae</i> being known from Japan and China as well [unpublished data EJvN] in contrast to <i>E. agrimoniae</i>, that is only known from Europe. <b>Material.
