A faunistic study on the geometrid moths (Lepidoptera) of Maden (Elazığ) district

This paper is conducted on the Geometridae fauna of Maden district (Elazığ). In total, 87 species were diagnosed in 47 genera of 6 subfamilies. All of the determined species are new record for the research area and also 82 of the species are new record for Elazığ province. And, second location records of endemic Idaea consociata (Staudinger, 1900), Gnophos sacraria (Staudinger, 1895) and Wehrliola inexpectata (Kemal & Uçak, 2018) species are given from the study area.
