Abstract: Fourteen species of Lepidoptera from the families Limacodidae, Uraniidae, Notodontidae, Erebidae, Nolidae, and Noctuidae are reported from the Bikin District (Khabarovsk Krai, Russia). Among these, Rhamnosa angulata Fixsen, 1887 (Limacodidae), Dysaethria illotata (Christoph, 1880) (Uraniidae), Hypena narratalis Walker, 1858, and Hypersypnoides astrigera (Butler, 1885) (Erebidae) represent first records for Khabarovsk Krai. New occurrences of Miltochrista pallida (Bremer, 1864) and Stigmatophora flava (Bremer & Gray, 1852) (Erebidae) confirm their presence in the region. Additionally, rare East Asian species – Mimopydna pallida (Butler, 1877) (Notodontidae), Stigmatophora leacrita (Swinhoe, 1894) (Erebidae), Gelastocera eminentissima Bryk, 1948 (Nolidae), Imosca coreana (Matsumura, 1926), Orthosia satoi Sugi, 1960, O. ryrholmi G. Ronkay, L. Ronkay, Gyulai & Hacker, 2010, and Perigrapha extincta Kononenko, 1989 (Noctuidae) – were documented, significantly expanding knowledge of their Far Eastern distributions. The boreal species Brachionycha sajana Draudt, 1934 (Noctuidae) was recorded at its southernmost known range limit.
