Abstract

In this paper, Amphipyra kautti Hacker, 2002 which was collected from Zagros Mountain ranges is newly reported for the fauna of Iran. Another species from Amphipyrinae which was collected during our survey is also presented.
Sampling was carried out by light traps powered by 12-volt batteries and 8-watt UVB light tubes. Materials were deposited in the Insect and Mite Collection of Ahvaz, Plant Protection Department, Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz. Genitalia slides were prepared following Fibiger (1997). Identifications were done according to available literature such as Hacker (1998), Fibiger & Hacker (2007) and by studying museum materials at Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest by the first author. Systematics and nomenclature are according to Fibiger & Hacker (2007), with later modifications by Keegan et. al. (2019; 2021). Adults were photographed by Canon EOS 600D and genitalia with a Canon SX40 attached to an Olympus SZX12 stereomicroscope.
