	abstract = {<p>\&quot;Moths are non-papilionoid Lepidoptera and least studied than butterflies, likely due to mostly being nocturnal habit and cryptic colouration. A preliminary checklist of moth fauna from various southern Rajasthan is presented in the present study based on records from 1 January 2018 to 31 March 2020. We identified 154 moth species representing 10 superfamilies, 18 families and 58 subfamilies. The most species rich families were Crambidae (n=46; 29.87\%) Noctuidae (n=30; 19.48\%) and Erebidae (n=29; 18.83\%), and Geometridae (n=19; 12.34\%). The significant outcome of this work is the report of 126 species for the first time from the state of Rajasthan.\&quot;</p>
