New distribution records of the genera Dichagyris Lederer and Euxoa Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) from Kerman Province, Iran

New distribution records of Dichagyris and Euxoa (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) from Kerman Province, Iran are presented based on noctuid moths collected with UV light traps at several localities in Kerman. In total, 20 Dichagyris taxa and 13 Euxoa taxa were recorded, of which eight Dichagyris and ten Euxoa represent new provincial records, and all identifications were confirmed by genitalia dissections and comparison with museum and reference material. An updated and corrected checklist of the Iranian fauna is provided, summarising 78 Dichagyris and 55 Euxoa taxa currently known from the country, with 34 and 25 taxa, respectively, described from type localities in Iran. This underscores the importance of the Iranian Plateau for speciation in these xeromontane genera. The new records from Kerman extend the known ranges of several species previously thought to be restricted mainly to northern or western parts of the Zagros Mountains and highlight that the noctuid fauna of Kerman, like many other Iranian regions, remains incompletely documented. These results emphasise the need for continued integrative taxonomic, phylogenetic, and biogeographical research on Dichagyris and Euxoa , as well as targeted studies on their largely unknown larval biology and ecology in Iran.
