The present communication reports occurrence of 52 species of moths in Neora Valley National Park, West Bengal. Of them, 12 species were reported by Mandal (1992). The rest of 40 species have been collected using light trap at Lava, the entrance of Neora Valley National Park on its western boundary during the faunistic surveys carried out in the year 2014. Among these, fifteen species have been found as new record to the moth fauna of West Bengal.Keywords
