Abstract
This study reviews the diversity of ghost moths (Hepialidae) in Georgia, including the first documentation of the genus Hepialus Fabricius, 1775 with the recording of Hepialus humuli (Linnaeus, 1758) based on a two male and a single female specimens collected in 3 regions of Georgia in 1961, 1962 and 1970. The newly recorded genus also represents the first record for the South Caucasus more widely.
