Abstract: Twenty-nine species belonging to the subfamily Sterrhinae (Geometridae) are recorded from Central and Northwest Turkmenistan. The description of a new species Idaea laszloi Hausmann is given. /. peluraria (Reisser 1939) proved to be new for the Turkmenian fauna. Brachyglossina chaspia turkmenica Viidalepp, 1992, comb, n., combined with the species Brachyglossina chaspia Brandt, 1938. B. chaspia talvei Viidalepp, 1988, comb, et stat. n., and B. chaspia vartianae Wiltshire, 1966, comb, et stat. n., are both downgraded from species to subspecies rank and transferred from Idaea to Brachyglossina. Both sexes of Pseudocinglis eurata (Prout, 1939) are (re)described. Until now only the male holotype was known. Pseudocinglis benigna amseli Wiltshire, 1967, comb, et stat. n. is transferred from Scapula and downgraded from species to subspecies rank. Pseudocinglis falcovitshi Viidalepp, 1992, is transferred from Scopula (comb. n.). Scopula ansulata eberti Wiltshire, 1967, stat. n., is downgraded from species to subspecies rank. Scopula transcaspica Prout, 1939, is raised to species rank from subspecies of Scopula submutata (Treitschke, 1828) and reported for the first time for Turkey.Journal: Folia entomologica hungaricaJournal abbreviation: Folia ent. hung.ISSN: 0373-9465Publisher: , Editor(s): Mahunka, S.
