Eupithecia accurata Staudinger, 1892 (Lepidoptera, Geometridae) is reported from Mongolia for the first time. The species is distributed locally in Central Asian countries and belongs to the Palearctic group of E. gueneata Millière, 1862 species. E. accurata was found on the territory of the Mongolian Altai (Hovd Aimak, Bodonchijn-Gol River Valley) on the border of the riparian forest and the rocky desert. The finding of the species in Western Mongolia represents the easternmost point of the area. Syntype images and distribution map are given.
