An annotated list of the Cossidae of the Russian portion of the Caucasus including 20 species from 11 genera and two subfamilies is presented for the first time. A new species Cryptoholcocerus daghestanica sp. nov. is also described.

Neither Schoorl’s (1990) nor Edwards et al’s (1998) reviews of Cossidae classification employed antennal morphology.…”
