| Summary: | This study was carried out to report the newly recorded species of the family Crambidae, belonging to the order Lepidoptera. During the investigation on subfamily Pyraustinae in middle of Iraq, the following snout moth’s species, i.e., Pleuroptya ruralis Scopoli, 1763 is reported for the first time from Iraq. External and genital characteristics of adult were examined and illustrated. This newly recorded species is enumerated with their available information including the collecting localities, illustrations of adults, and female genitalia.
