Here we present additional data and the information about new records of Lepidoptera (Geometridae, Sphingidae, Lymantriidae, Erebidae s.str., Noctuidae, Arctiidae) from the Khakassia Republic and the South of Krasnoyarsk region. 45 species are reported for the fauna of both regions for the first time and the 4 species reliably confirmed. In our work, we use research records, collection of personal materials during 1986−2021 (collecting) seasons. As in works before, we acknowledge availability for several species, which were recorded here earlier doubtly. In addition, comparisons of moths flight activity 100 years agо and contemporary are given. Authors thank their wives for many years of help and understanding during all the stages of our work; E. Akulov, V. Golovizin, (Krasnoyarsk) for the collecting materials provided for our study. We are also thank to dr. V.V. Shurkina (Abakan), deputy director of research State Natural Reserve "Khakassky", director and deputy director of research Ergaki Nature Park I.V.
