Summary
76 noctuid species were collected by bait traps in ecologically cultivated cherry orchards in western Turkey. Among these, Acanthoplusia agnata (Staudinger, 1892), Agrochola lota (Clerck, 1759), Allophyes cretica Pinker & Reisser, 1978, Euxoa cursoria (Hufnagel, 1766), Paradrina suscianja von Mentzer, 1981 and Polymixis flavicincta ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) are new records for the Turkish fauna. None of the species recorded is known as a pest of cherry trees.
