Abstract
The article provides data on new finds of the tussock moth Gynaephora (rossii) species group in Northern Yakutia. All new find locations are to the north of the 70th parallel, in the Arctic and Subarctic tundra subzones. These locations are as follows: the lower reaches of the Indigirka river, the southern coast of the East Siberian sea, Stolbovoy and Kotelny islands of the Novosibirsk islands archipelago, Krestovsky and Chetyrehstolbovoy islands of the Medvezhyi islands archipelago. New finds confirm species range continuity in the Arctic from the Polar Urals to Wrangel island. Gynaephora (rossii) larvae fed on tundra willow leaves (Salix polaris, S. boganidensis and S. pulchra).
