Taking into account the latest data, 19 species of Pterophoridae from 12 genera are known from Sakhalin: 14 species from subfamily Platyptilinae and five from subfamily Pterophorinae. The plume moth fauna of Sakhalin now includes 19 species from 12 genera: 14 species from subfamily Platyptilinae and 5 from subfamily Pterophorinae. In 2021, Nippoptilia regula (Meyrick, 1906) was for the first time reported from the south of the Sakhalin island, which is the northernmost record for this species. In Russia, N. regula has only been known from Primorye. The Far Eastern records of plume moths were made in autumn. The article presents a photo of N. regula body, provides information on its distributional ranges outside of Russia. In Japan, the host plant of N. regula caterpillar is Vitis vinifera (Vitaceae); two creepers from this family are given for Sakhalin.
