Abstract
Two Noctuidae species are reported as new members of the fauna of Croatia, Amphipyra stix Herrich-Schäffer, [1850] was recorded near Smrden grad in southern Dalmatia while Lenisa geminipuncta (Haworth, 1809) was recorded in Nature Park Kopački rit and northern part of Međimurje county. Amphipyra cinnamomea (Goeze, 1781) is reported as a second country record, from Bilje near Osijek, 106 years after the last record in Croatia. All three species can be considered rare, and probably endangered in the country, and their status should be assessed in the creation of any Red lists in the future.
