Shahreyari-Nejad, M. Esfandiari, A. Rasekh, M. S. Mossadegh & A. Shirvani Abstract Noctuidae species are mostly plant feeding as caterpillars and nectar feeding as adults, functioning as herbivores, pollinators and prey, as well as include many species of economic importance. Here we intended to contribute to the fauna of seven Noctuidae subfamilies Metoponinae, Eustriotinae, Acontiinae, Cuculliinae, Oncocnemidinae, Psaphidinae and Eriopinae in some Iranian provinces. Numerous samplings were carried out in Khuzestan, Ilam, Fars, Kerman, and Khorasan-e Razavi provinces. A total of 31 Noctuidae taxa were collected and identified, among which there are 22 new provincial records from Kerman, Khuzestan, Fars and Ilam provinces. The species Oncocnemis rhodophaea Ebert, 1978 and nominotypical subspecies Asteroscopus syriaca (Warren, 1910) are newly reported for the fauna of Iran.
