Abstract

The autumn fauna of geometrid moths (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) from Kunashir Island is considered for the first time. Thirty two species are listed, among which two species — Ramobia mediodivisa Inoue, 1953, and Martania fulvida (Butler, 1881) are recorded for the fauna of Russia for the first time, and eight species are newly indicated for the Kuril Islands — Colotois pennaria (Linnaeus, 1761), Orthonama obstipata (Fabricius, 1794), Photoscotosia lucicolens (Butler, 1878), Epirrita autumnata (Borkhausen, 1794), Gandaritis fixseni (Bremer, 1864), Pennithera comis (Butler, 1879), Venusia phasma (Butler, 1879) and Spiralisigna subpumilata (Inoue, 1972). The phenological aspects of the collection period of the moths are briefly discussed.
