The moths were recorded from 49 stations. 113 species belonging to a total of 9 families along with four new families insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Drepanidae, Lasiocampidae, Nolidae, Sphingidae); from the Sündiken Mountains were identified. All the given 113 species are recorded for the first time from moth fauna of the Sündiken Mountains and likewise, 106 species are recorded for the first time from the moth fauna of Eskişehir province. Eight species are new records for the Central Anatolia Region: Amphipoea oculea insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Linn.,1761);, Mythimna insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Anapoma); riparia insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Ram.,1829);, Noctua insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Paranoctua); interposita insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Hb.,1790);, Ascotis selenaria insert ignore into journalissuearticles values([Den. & Sch.],1775);, Chloroclysta siterata insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Huf., 1767);, Pachypasa otus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Dr., [1773]);, Menophra berenicidaria insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Tr., 1924);, Aedia leucomelas insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Linn., 1758);.
