Abstract

In the three parts of this paper to be published, 80 species of Eupithecia (Lepidoptera, Geometridae) are recorded for the fauna of Kashmir and adjacent territories of Pakistan and India, more than doubling the previously recorded total. The type specimens of the majority of these species were studied; lectotypes are designated where appropriate. Fourteen new species and one new subspecies of Eupithecia are described; one taxon (Eupithecia mesodeicta Prout, 1938) is raised, and three restored, to species rank; 30 species names are synonymised and a large number of species are recorded as new for the fauna of Kashmir or adjacent areas of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India.
