Abstract

A total of 2378 geometrid moth specimens were collected from four districts of Kashmir valley during 2018-2019, which comprised of 39 species belonging to 29 genera, 17 tribes and 4 subfamilies. Five species (Abraxas cashmiria sp. nov., Antipercnia pseudoalbinigrata sp. nov., Aspitates pseudogilvaria sp. nov., Chorodna Baramulia sp. nov. and Xenoplia kashmirensis sp. nov.) are reported for the first time from this area. Diversity indices was highest in Baramulla (H´ = 1.452760) lowest in Srinagar (H´=1.273559). Alcis repandata (Linnaeus) was found to be most dominant species (11.02%), while as Callipia vicinaria (Dognin) was found least dominant (0.25%).
