Eleven species of the Noctuidae [Polia hepatica (Clerck, 1759), P. malchani (Draudt, 1934), P. vespertilio (Draudt, 1934), Lasionycta skraelingia (Herrich-Schäffer, 1852), L. hospita A. Bang-Haas, 1912; Xestia kolymae (Herz, 1903), X. albuncula (Eversmann, 1851), X. subgrisea (Staudinger, 1897), X. penthima (Erschoff, 1870), X. sincera (Herrich-Schäffer, 1851), and X. rhaetica (Staudinger, 1871)] of the boreal faunal complex are reported for the first time from China.
