The annotated list of 585 species of Lepidoptera from the Kola Peninsu
la is the first comprehensive account from the area. It is based on re
sults of a recent 14-years collecting as well as on the old materials
collected by Finnish entomologists and on all the data published earli
er. For each species, the localities are listed; position of all local
ities is indicated on the map; species numbers from localities and UTM
squares are summarized. Eight species are new for Russia; six species
collected along the White Sea coast were never recorded in Northern F
ennoscandia. Eight species erroneously reported from the Kola Peninsul
a are excluded from the list.
