This study was conducted in field and laboratory. Nemophora fascielle (Fabricius, 1775) (Adelidae) and Endothenia sororiana (Herrich-Schaffer, 1851) (Tortricidae) were caught with insect net, mercury vapour light trap and white screen, at different altitudes, with various vegetation in Hatay. In the field studies, N. fascielle totally 3 male and 2 female, and E. sororiana totally 5 male and 1 female were collected. Specimens were dissected in the laboratory and prepared male genitalia and wings slides. We described the external and male genital morphology of N. fascielle and E. sororiana in detail and also diagnostical morphological features. As a result of the study, N. fascielle and E. sororiana are first record for Hatay.

In this study, the fauna of Papilionoidea (Lepidoptera) (sensu vanNieukerken et al., 2011) in West Taurus (Southern Turkey) has been investigated. Field studies were carried out during the years 2004–2009. Specimens of butterflies were collected from 43 different localities for this study. These specimens belong to 125 species distributed in 5 families. The distribution of species (by families) was given as: Papilionidae (5); Pieridae (14); Nymphalidae (45); Lycaenidae (44) and Hesperiidae (17). A review of the relevant literature revealed that 92 of 125 species determined in this study are newly recorded for the Lepidoptera fauna of Anamur and all of them are new for the study area.
