The paper contains new data on the distribution of two Erebidae and ten Noctuidae species in Kazakhstan. New northernmost known localities for Leiometopon simyrides Staudinger, 1888, Lophoterges centralasiae (Staudinger, 1901) and Anarta vaciva (Püngeler, 1906), westernmost locality for Hadena dsungarica Hacker, 1996, easternmost localities for Autophila chamaephanes Boursin, 1940, Acronicta megacephala ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775), Episema tersa ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775), Leucochlaena fallax (Staudinger, 1870), Dasypolia timoi Fibiger & Nupponen, 2006 and Hadena persimilis Hacker, 1996, and southernmost localities for Acronicta megacephala and Phidrimana amurensis (Staudinger, 1892) are provided. Phidrimana amurensis is reported here for Kazakhstan for the first time. Four new localities in Kazakhstan for Thumatha senex (Hübner, [1808]) are given in addition to the single one known previously.
Key words: Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Noctuidae, Kazakhstan, fauna, new records.
Introduction
During the researches of the Noctuoidea fauna of northeastern and southeastern Kazakhstan, we found several interesting Erebidae and Noctuidae species which are in the new localities on limits of their known ranges. Our new finds extend significantly the known ranges of Leiometopon simyrides Staudinger, 1888, Lophoterges centralasiae (Staudinger, 1901) and Anarta vaciva (Püngeler, 1906) to the north, the range of Hadena dsungarica Hacker, 1996 to the west, the ranges of Autophila chamaephanes Boursin, 1940, Acronicta megacephala ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775), Episema tersa ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775), Leucochlaena fallax (Staudinger, 1870), Dasypolia timoi Fibiger & Nupponen, 2006 and Hadena persimilis Hacker, 1996 to the east, and the ranges of Acronicta megacephala and Phidrimana amurensis (Staudinger, 1892) to the south. In addition, the latter species is new for the fauna of Kazakhstan. These finds are published below.
Material and methods
The moths were collected by using mercury and UV light and bait consisting of red wine and sugar. Some specimens were also collected on colonies of aphids. Material collected is deposited in the collections of Sergey Titov (CST, Pavlodar, Kazakhstan) and Anton Volynkin (CAV, Barnaul, Russia).

Remarks. The finds in Pavlodar and Karaganda regions are respectively the easternmost and southernmost confirmed records for the species. The eastern and southeastern limits of the species range are still unclear due a probable confusion of A. megacephala with its eastern sister species A. concerpta (Draudt, 1937). The species was reported for Pavlodar region by Pospelov (1962) and Shek (1975).
