Abstract
Data on the distribution of 20 species of moths from the families Crambidae and Pyralidae in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India, are presented, with notes on their host plants and general distribution. Of these, 19 species, as well as the genus Pseudosacada Singh, Kirti et Ranjan, 2020, are recorded for the region for the first time. Agrioglypta excelsalis (Walker, 1866) is recorded for the first time for India. Most of the listed species are important agricultural and forest pests.
