You should not be guided by Fauna europaea, foreigners do not really know our fauna. Neither Z. purpuralis nor Z. minos have yet been found in the Leningrad Region (the latter is found in the south of the Pskov region, and possibly reaches its center). In addition to the three Zygaena species you have presented, Z. filipendulae is very locally distributed to the south of the Leningrad region.

Well, in the case where the view is not specified there, this is so. If the presence of a species in the region is indicated, it is not given there from a fool, at least, I don't think so. It's not a matter of knowing our fauna. In particular, for the Leningrad region, there are many old data on the Karelian Isthmus, and they are confirmed by Finnish pre-war collections. Something was also collected during the war in the occupied territories along the banks of the Sviri. For my group, I found a lot of things from there. And now they periodically come to collect material in Russia, which is not always exported legally.
And in Finland itself, as you must know, both Z. filipendulae and Z. minos are marked...
It should be noted that there is a whole army of amateur entomologists (only for the Lepidoptera-3 society), in addition to people who are professionally engaged in this.

On the "blue" mottled-who knows, strange... I would have defined the rest of them as you were told. Z. trifolii looks like adults can hardly be reliably distinguished from similar species, it's a ghost species in general. Interestingly, her pictures are not even on the website of the Witt Museum, where there are millions of mottled birds. There is, however, in the German lepiforum. You are absolutely right about the Finns - there is, figuratively speaking, an entomologist on every swamp hummock-and everyone is monitored, especially daytime ones. Old data (Kaisila et al.) seen, of course. The Finnish collections themselves, however, did not happen.
