Survey tours were undertaken for the collection of Pterophorid moths from various localities falling in the jurisdiction of North-Western Shiwaliks. In all, 26 species belonged to 18 genera of the family Pterophoridae(25 species of subfamily Pterophorinae and 01 Deuterocopinae) were examined and identified. The keys to subfamilies, synonymy, distribution and remarks for all the species are also provided in detail.Keywords
