INTRODUCTION
The Pterophoridae fauna of Paraguay has never been separately considered in the scientific literature. Till now there were 26 known species of them (Gielis, 2003, 2006, 2012, 2013).
MATERIAL
Examining the collections of plume moths from Paraguay, graciously provided to us by Mr. Ulf Drechsel (Asuncion), we have discovered six more species new for the fauna of this country.

DISCUSSION
As a result of our partial examination of the specimens from Paraguay, we have discovered 36 species, six of which are indicated as new for the fauna of the country. There is no doubt that further examination of Pterophoridae from this region will provide many other new species which are still unknown for Paraguay.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
We are sincerely grateful to Mr. Ulf Drechsel for sending us the specimens of Pterophoridae, which he had collected in various regions of Paraguay.
