Abstract

We present new data on the distribution of Pericyma albidentaria Freyer, 1842 (Lepidoptera, Erebidae) based on voucher-confirmed material from the Fergana Valley in Uzbekistan. Three specimens were collected in Tashlak District and identified using external morphology and genital structures. This record represents the first georeferenced, voucher-based occurrence of the species in eastern Uzbekistan and extends its known distribution range in Central Asia.
