Fifteen species of geometrid moths are presented for the first time for the Amur Oblast, the Russian Far East. Of them, two species were collected in the western and central parts of the region in larch and small-leaved forests: trans-Palaearctic Eupithecia selinata Herrich-Schäffer, 1861 and Anticollix sparsata (Treitschke, 1828); and 13 species were found in its southeastern part in coniferous and deciduous forests with Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis): Far Eastern Garaeus mirandus (Butler, 1881), Apochima juglansiaria (Graeser, 1889), Cryptochorina amphidasyaria (Oberthür, 1880), Biston regalis (Moore, 1888), Calicha nooraria (Bremer, 1864), Inurois pseudopunctigera Beljaev, 2022, Jodis praerupta (Butler, 1878), Maxates grandificaria (Graeser, 1890), Trichopteryx inouei Hashimoto, 1987, Heterothera serrataria (Prout, 1914), Eupithecia proterva Butler, 1878, E. quadripunctata Warren, 1888 and E. kobayashii Inoue, 1958. The paper briefly discusses phytocenotic conditions of the moth collection sites. It also describes general distribution of the species and provides chorological typification of their ranges.
