Abstract
The little-known Noctuidae species Scotocampa sheljuzhkoi Gyulai & L. Ronkay, 2002 is reported from Kazakhstan for the first time. The species was previously considered as endemic to South and Southwest Mongolia and the new distribution data increase its known range by over 750 km to the west. Adults, male genitalia and the habitats of S. sheljuzhkoi and its allopatric sister species Scotocampa indigesta Staudinger, 1888 occurring in the Ili River Valley (SE Kazakhstan) are illustrated. The photograph of the female genitalia of the holotype of Scotocampa crassipuncta (Püngeler, 1905) known from Tarim Basin is illustrated for the first time.
