Abstract: The morphology and distribution of Conopia stomoxiformis (Hübner, 1790) on the Crimean Peninsula are described and illustrated. All collected specimens were bred from larvae or pupae. The use of artificial sex pheromones did not yield positive results. This species is found in two administrative-territorial units of the Crimean Peninsula, namely the Republic of Crimea and the Federal City of Sevastopol’. C. stomoxiformis was found in 14 localities, including those noted in literature and Internet resources. This species is recorded for the Federal City of Sevastopol’ for the first time.
