Abstract
This study was conducted in field and laboratory. Nemophora fascielle (Fabricius, 1775) (Adelidae) and Endothenia sororiana (Herrich-Schaffer, 1851) (Tortricidae) were caught with insect net, mercury vapour light trap and white screen, at different altitudes, with various vegetation in Hatay. In the field studies, N. fascielle totally 3 male and 2 female, and E. sororiana totally 5 male and 1 female were collected. Specimens were dissected in the laboratory and prepared male genitalia and wings slides. We described the external and male genital morphology of N. fascielle and E. sororiana in detail and also diagnostical morphological features. As a result of the study, N. fascielle and E. sororiana are first record for Hatay.
