Abstract We report three species of the family Noctuidae, Catocala hyperconnexa Sugi, Xylomoia fusei Sugi and Hydraecia ultima Holst, for the first time from China, with illustrations of adult and genitalia. Key words New record, Noctuidae, Catocala, Xylomoia, Hydraecia, China

Lqwurgxfwlrq Up to date, more than 2,300 species of the family Noctuidae have been reported from China (Chen, 1999; Chou and Lu, 1974, 1978, 1979a-b; Han et al., 2003, 2005a-b; Hua, 2005; Wu, 1938). In China, more than 80 species of the genus Catocala have been investigated to date (Chen, 1999; Hua, 2005; Park et al., 2006). Catocala hyperconnexa Sugi, 1965 was firstly recorded from in Nepal (Haruta, 1993). In this study, two males of hyperconnexa Sugi were collected from from Prov. Xizang (Tibet), which is the second recorded from outside of the type locality. Three species: Xylomoia graminea (Graeser), X. retinax Mikkola and X. fusei Sugi were included the genus Xylomoia in the NE Asia. To date only graminea (Graeser) was distributed Prov. Heilongjiang in China. X. fusei Sugi, 1976 were collected from “Manchukuo” by Mr. Weimer in 1919, N. China, and identified by Dr. Kononenko in 2003. Two materials of fusei Sugi will be presented in this study, which is the second recorded from outside of the type locality Japan, and Russia (Kononrnko, 1981, 2005; Sugi, 1976). Genus Hydraecia comprises three species, cervago, mongoliensis and amurensis, in China, all of which had been reported in N. China. Hydraecia ultima *Corresponding author.

Holst, 1965 is newly added to Chinese fauna in this paper. In the present study, we report three species : Catocala hyperconnexa Sugi, 1965, Xylomoia fusei Sugi, 1976 and Hydraecia ultima Holst, 1965, for the first time from China. All available informations of the newly record species of the synonymies, male genitalia, host plant, and distributional data are provided. The specimens treated in this paper are preserved in collection of Entomological Laboratory, School of Forestry, Northeast Forestry University (NEFU), Harbin 150040, China, and Carnegie Nature History Museum (CNHM)Pittsbourgh, USA.
