In the year 2000, it was published the Catalogue of this collection but only with partial data. After a new acquisition, the value of the collection increased. The present paper presents the updated systematic list of Suprafamily Noctuoidea -with Subfamily Pygaerinae (36 species), Herminiinae (11 species), Acontiinae (10 species), Psaphidininae (5 species), Stiriinae (44 species), Hadeninae (58 species), Noctuinae (37 species), and Family Lymantriidae (9 species). The total number of 211 species and 471 samples are presented with the data and place of collection, the number of samples and their sex. Their name was updated and the endangered degree is mentioned at all species according to ”Verzeichnis der Schmetterlinge Romäniens” (RÁKOSY et al., 2003). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
