On the basis of the specimens collected in 2015-2017 from south east of Turkey, an overview is presented on faunistic and distributional points of view. Twenty three species in 4 subfamilies have been discovered for the first time from the area. Endemic and widespread species in the field are mentioned. Comparison of the species number with neighbouring provinces is given. Adults of Charissa dubitaria (Staudinger, 1892); C. onustaria (Herrich-Schäffer, [1852]); Eilicrinia cordiaria (Hübner, 1790); Eumera hoeferi Wehrli, 1934; Gnophos pseudosnelleni (Rjabov, 1964); Stueningia wolfi Hausmann, 1993; Aplocera plagiata (Linnaeus, 1758) and Docirava musculata (Staudinger, 1892) are illustrated.
