New data of Noctuinae (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) from Iran, with a new Polymixis Hübner species.

Polymixis mossadeghi sp. n. from the Zagros Mountains of Iran is described as new to science. The new species is the seventh species of the subgenus Eremophysa Boursin, 1858 that occurs in Iran, all with Iranian type locality. It is compared with its close relative, P. gracilis (Brandt, 1941), together with depicting the adult wing pattern and male genitalia illustrations. Moreover, the presence of Orthosia cruda ([Denis & Schiffermüller] 1775) in Iran is confirmed. This latter species is compared with its close relative, O. sordescens Hreblay, 1993, notes on its bionomics and distribution are given. Furthermore, new provincial records for nine species of Noctuidae are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
