Background Southern Africa hosts a high diversity of ecosystems and habitats with a tremendous diversity of Lepidoptera. Although it is one of the most studied parts of the Afrotropics, the knowledge on diversity and distribution of south African moth fauna remains insufficient. To partly fill this gap, we surveyed macromoths by automatic light traps in five localities in two relatively less sampled south African countries. New information We reported six species and one genus (Remigioides) of moths which had not yet been recorded in Namibia or Zimbabwe. Although none of these records broadened the known distribution of individual species to a new biogeographical region, they still fill important gaps in their distributions. The known distributional ranges of two species have been substantially extended, although they are still within the same biogeographical regions: ca. 800 km southwards for Remigioides remigina (Mabille, 1884) and ca. 600 km westwards for Haplopacha cinerea Aurivillius, 1905.

南非国家六种飞蛾（鳞翅目：Erebidae，Lasiocampidae）物种的新记录及其分布评论

背景 南部非洲拥有高度多样化的生态系统和栖息地，鳞翅目种类繁多。尽管它是非洲热带地区研究最多的部分之一，但对南非飞蛾动物群的多样性和分布的了解仍然不足。为了部分填补这一空白，我们在两个样本相对较少的南非国家的五个地点通过自动光阱调查了大型飞蛾。新信息 我们报告了尚未在纳米比亚或津巴布韦记录的 6 种和 1 属 (Remigioides)。尽管这些记录都没有将单个物种的已知分布扩大到新的生物地理区域，但它们仍然填补了其分布中的重要空白。两个物种的已知分布范围已大大扩展，尽管它们仍在相同的生物地理区域内：约。Remigioides remigina (Mabille, 1884) 和 ca. 向南 800 公里。1905 年向西 600 公里的 Haplopacha cinerea Aurivillius。
