Ennominae is an important group in the Geometridae family that contains problematic species with very similar external morphological characters. In this study, Ennominae species collected from Yüksekova Dağlıca town of Hakkari Province between April and September 2017 were evaluated from a faunistic and taxonomic perspective. 28 species were identified in the study. Charissa onustaria, C. subtaurica and Crocallis tusciaria species were identified for the first time from Hakkari Province. C. loebeli, Neognopharmia cataleucaria, and Ramitia kufrana were detected in the region are also important endemic taxa for the Turkish fauna. Rhoptria mardinata and Eumera hoferi, known only in Türkiye and Iran, are other rare species found in the region. R. mardinata was presented with photographs of male genitalia for the first time. Morphological and taxonomic aspects of the species under the genera Dicrognophos, Gnopharmia, Crocallis, Bellachima, Charissa, Synopsia and Nychiodes are discussed
