Menetries' Tiger Moth (Borearctia menetriesii) is a moth of the Arctiinae family. It is found in Karelia, Oktyabrskoe, north-eastern Kazakhstan, Altai Mountains, Sayan Mountains, Evenkia, Yakutia, the central Amur region, Primorsky Krai and central Sakhalin. It was believed to be extinct in Fennoscandia, but the species has been recently recorded in Finland. This species is characterized by the fact that they never come to light; such behavior is atypical in the family of Arctiidae.
Data about all species records were summarized in the paper: Bolotov I.N., Gofarov M.Yu., Kolosova Yu.S., & Frolov A.A. 2013. Occurrence of Borearctia menetriesii (Eversmann, 1846) (Erebidae: Arctiinae) in Northern European Russia: a new locality in a disjunct species range. – Nota lepid. 36 (1): 65–75.
