The paper contains data about 354 species of owlet moths, collected in 2017–2020 in Kyrgyzstan. This work is based on the examination of 4043 specimens, from which genitalia for 600 specimens were dissected. The following number of species is recorded for various territories of the country for the first time: 12 species for Kyrgyzstan; 27 species for West TianShan; eight species for Central Tian-Shan; 29 species for Inner Tian-Shan; one species for North Tian-Shan; 10 species for Alai. In total, 878 species of moths are known in the fauna of Kyrgyzstan. Due to the intermediate position of Kyrgyzstan between Kazakhstan and Tajikistan we can predict an average species number in Kyrgyzstan as between 950 and 1000 species. Thus, the fauna of Noctuoidea of this country is studied by 80–90% to the present time.
