ABSTRACT. We present new data on the location of eight Pterophoridae (Lepidoptera) species in Azerbaijan. Three species of Plume Moths, Agdistis huemeri Arenberger, 2002, A. ingens Christoph, 1887, and Marasmarcha rhypodactyla (Staudinger, 1870) are reported for the fauna of Azerbaijan for the first time. A new synonymy has been established: Agdistis caradjai Arenberger, 1975 = Agdistis karabachica Zagulajev, 1990 syn.n. For the fauna of Georgia, Agdistis huemeri should be indicated, but not A. karabachica.
KEY WORDS: biodiversity, fauna, Caucasus, Pterophoridae, Plume Moths.
