In insects, sound is received through the tympanal organ. It is known that the tympanal organ structure and placements can be used in the classification of higher categories. In this study, hypothesis regarding to the usage of the tympanal organ features can also be used in the classification of was tested. For this purpose, tympanal morphology of the four taxa (Evergestis frumentalis (Linnaeus, 1761) E. flavifuscalis Rebel, 1903, E. mundalis (Guenée, 1854) and E. umbrosalis (Fischer von Röslerstamm, 1841)) belonging to the Evergestis genus in the Evergestinae subfamily were examined, analyzed and photographed.
