Abstract:

"The diversity of moths in the Goa University campus has been reported based on a brief survey undertaken by the corresponding author during 28 September 2018 to 18 October 2018. A total of 200 species belonging to 23 families and 13 super families is presented along with colour photographs. A range extension of the uraniid moth Pseudhyria rubra Hampson hitherto known only from S. India is reported for the first time from Goa in the western part of the country. Also, the thyridid moth Collinsa decoratalis Warren is reported as a new record from the Western Ghats. Most importantly, the present study is the first attempt to document the moth fauna of Goa."
