Introduction
The Pterophoridae fauna of Bolivia has never been separately considered in the scientific literature. Till now there were 32 known species of them GIELIS (2003, 2006, 2011, 2013), KOVTUNOVICH et al. (2016).
Material
Examining the collections of plume moths from Bolivia, graciously provided to us by V. Sinyaev (Moscow, Russia), we have discovered 9 more species new for the fauna of this country.

Discussion
As a result of our partial examination of the specimens from Bolivia, we have discovered 41 species, 9 of which are indicated as new for the fauna of the country. There is no doubt that further examination of Pterophoridae from this region will provide many other new species which are still unknown for Bolivia.
Acknowledgements
We express our deep gratitude to V. Sinyaev and his assistants; S. Siniaeva, A. Zamesov O. Romanov (Moscow, Russia), for providing materials for examination.
