Abstract
The following four species of moths are recorded for the first time: Kessleria saxifragae (Stainton, 1868) and Paradoxus osyridellus Stainton, 1869 (Yponomeutidae) — from Ukraine; Argyresthia communana Moriuti, 1969 (Argyresthiidae) — from Russia; Ypsolopha albiramella (Mann, 1861) (Ypsolophidae) — from Mongolia. For two rare species which are Argyresthia kurenzovi Gershenson, 1988 (Argyresthiidae) and Pseudoplutella porrectella (Linnaeus, 1758) (Plutellidae) new finds in Russia are noted.
