With 286 species, Lepidoptera is the second most species-rich order of insects in the Socotra Archipelago. 105 species (36%) are endemic to the archipelago. Some groups were recently revised in detail, for example: Cossidae ( BORTH et al. 2011 ) , Geometridae ( HAUSMANN 2006 , 2009 ), Pterophoridae ( ARENBERGER 2009 ) , or Noctuoidea ( HACKER 2016 ; HACKER & SALDAITIS 2010 , 2011). An actual list of 27 Socotran butterflies was published by FRIC & HULA (2013) and FRIC et al. (2017) . However, other families like Pyralidae or Tortricidae are awaiting a comprehensive revision.
