Abstract

A small collection of five clearwing moths (Lepidoptera, Sesiidae) collected using artificial sex attractants in the vicinity of Ordubad, Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, Azerbaijan, is presented and illustrated. Four species, viz. Paranthrene tabaniformis (Rottemburg, 1775), Conopia amasina (Staudinger, 1856), Synanthedon myopaeformis (Borkhausen, 1789), and Chamaesphecia turbida Le Cerf, 1937, are recorded for the fauna of the region for the first time. Synanthedon armeniaca O. Gorbunov, 1991, is restored from synonyms of S. myopaeformis (Borkhausen, 1789). The important role of artificial sex attractants in studies of the faunal composition of Sesiidae is noted.
